Answer:

x = 54
angle ACD = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is that the exterior angle (ACD) is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles (the two marked angles on the right).

You are expected to use this relation to write and solve an equation.

exterior angle = angle D + angle B

(2x +16) = 58 + (x+12)

2x +16 = x +70

x + 16 = 70

x = 54

Then angle ACD is ...

angle ACD = (2x +16)° = (2·54 +16)°

angle ACD = 124°

A strawberry and banana juice blend is made with a ratio of strawberry to banana of 2:3. Fill in the table to show different pro

melomori [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$S \to$ Strawberry

$B \to$ Banana

$S : B = 2 : 3$

Solving (a):

Complete the table

The table, to be complete, is not given; so, I will generate one myself.

$\begin{array}{cccccc}S & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} \ \\ {B} & {3} & {4.5} & {6} & {7.5} & {9} \ \end{array}$

The table is generated as follows:

$S : B = 2 : 3$

Multiply by 1.5

$S : B = 2 * 1.5 : 3 * 1.5$

$S : B = 3 : 4.5$

Multiply by 2

$S : B = 2*2 : 3*2$

$S : B = 4 : 6$

And so on....

<em>In summary, whatever factor is multiplied to S must be multiplied to B; in order to keep the ratio constant</em>

Solving (b): Why the amount are proportion

Because the ratio is constant and it remains unchanged all through.
