Answer: 5 green buckets and 3 white buckets
Step-by-step explanation: each green bucket is 7 liters so if Austin buys 5 of them that'll equal 35 liters already. And each white bucket is 1 liter so if he buys 3 of those that'll get him to 38
Answer:
5:17
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 17 total marbles and 5 that are green. The part is 5 and the whole is 17.
Answer:
x = 144
Step-by-step explanation:
What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.
x/60 = 60/25
Multiply by 60 to find x:
x = (60·60)/25
x = 144

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...
60 = √(25x)
That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).
This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.
$36 x 1.07 = $38.52
The cost will be $38.52
Tax on this is $2.52
Add up the 84 and 42 to get 126, then divide by 6 to get the number of tables which is 21. And the number of seats is 126 because you would need a seat for every person. Hope this helps.
