Because if there is a brackets with a number infront of them worhout any signs. then its distributive property of multiplication
Answer:
<u><em>The length of AD is 32 feet</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportional distances
</u>
When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length
Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then
Given B is the midpoint of AC, then
If we know BC=8 feet
The length of AD is 32 feet
To get the solution we are looking for we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume that 55 is 100% because its the output value of the task.
2. We assume that the x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% = 55 so we can write it down as 100%=55
4. We know that x% = 44 of the output value so we can write it as x%=44.
5. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 100%=55 2) x%=44 where left sides of both of them have the same units and both right sides have the same units so we can do something like that 100%/x%=55/44.
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation and we will get the answer.
7. Solution for 44 is what percent of 55 100%/x%=55/44 (100/x)*x=(55/44)*x we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100= 1.25*x we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x 100/1.25=x 80=x now we have: 44 is 80% of 55!
Quick answer = 44 is 80% of 55
Hope this helps! ;D
