If a 10-pound sack of potatoes costs $6.55, how much would 1 pound cost? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

1 answer:

3 0

$\begin{array}{ccc}10\ lb&-&\$6.55\\\\1\ lb&-&\$ x\end{array}\ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\\\\\10\cdot x=1\cdot6.55\\\\10x=6.55\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 10\\\\x=\frac{6.55}{10}\\\\x=0.65\underline{5}\approx\boxed{\$0.66}\\$

If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up (+1).

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for DEF that is parallel to DE

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$\left(\dfrac{x_D+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_D+y_F}{2}\right),$ $\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right).$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let points D, E and F have coordinates $(x_D,y_D),\ (x_E,y_E)$ and $(x_F,y_F).$

1. Midpoint M of segment DF has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_D+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_D+y_F}{2}\right).$

2. Midpoint N of segment EF has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right).$

3. By the triangle midline theorem, midline MN is parallel to the side DE of the triangle DEF, then points M and N are endpoints of the midsegment for DEF that is parallel to DE.
