they are 2 similar triangles, one is smaller than the other. they are in the ratio of 2:1,
hence 7x =56÷2
7x=28
x=4
Answer:
400 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
0.50x + 0.20(600-x) = 0.40*600
50x + 20*600 - 20x = 40*600
30x = 20*600
x = 20*20
x = 400 mL
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
1. Round 50.75 to 50 and 0.18 to 0.20.
50 x 0.2 = 10
2) Round 96 to 100 and 0.499 to 0.5
100 divided by 0.5 = 50
3a) Round 8.2 to 8, 6.7 to 7, and 0.46 to 0.50
8 x 7 divided by 0.50 = 112
3b) Round 23.4 to 20, 13.9 to 10, and 0.18 to 0.20
20 x 10 divided by 0.20 = 2,000
