Since both trapezoids are similar, so LMNO is a scaled version of QRST by some magnitude
so we can easily use the concept of ratios to find x
in other words: x÷2=6÷5
so x=6×2÷5=12/5=2.4
x=2.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.
Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.
Total of scale usage is 2
b) if you have
coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.
Step 1: you narrow down to group of
coins
Step 2: you narrow down to group of
coins
Step 3: you narrow down to group of
coins
...
Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of
coin
102.5
Lol, well to start, it’s not asking to divide 0.4 by 41. It’s asking to divide 41 by 0.4.
And that will get you to 102.5. You could do long division or use a calculator if you are allowed.
Answer:
y=-1/2x+2
the y-intercept is at 2 and the slope is -1/2
meaning the y coordinates with move down 1 while the x coordinates will move 2 in a positive (right) direction
