In the diagram of triangle FJH below, KG || JH, FK=3, KJ=15, and FG=4. What is the length of FH?
Answers
Given:
In triangle [tex]FJH,KG\parallel JH, FK=3, KJ=15,\text{ and }FG=4.[/tex]
To find:
The length of [tex]FH[/tex].
Solution:
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): If a line intersect the two sides of a triangle and parallel to third side of the triangle, then it divides the sides proportionally.
In triangle [tex]FJH,KG\parallel JH[/tex].
Using BPT, we get
[tex]\dfrac{FK}{KJ}=\dfrac{FG}{GH}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{3}{15}=\dfrac{4}{GH}[/tex]
On cross multiplication, we get
[tex]3\times GH=4\times 15[/tex]
[tex]GH=\dfrac{60}{3}[/tex]
[tex]GH=20[/tex]
Now,
[tex]FH=FG+GH[/tex]
[tex]FH=4+20[/tex]
[tex]FH=24[/tex]
Therefore, the length of FH is 24 units.

A recipe for 12 cupcakes uses 2/3 cups of sugar. The number of cupcakes is directly proportional to the amount of sugar. How many cupcakes can you make with 3 cups of sugar?
help please!! i need an answer before may 7th
Answers
Answer:
54 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
You would see how much sugar goes into each cupcake which is 1/18 cups of sugar in each cupcake, next you would see how many cupcakes you can make by turning the total 3 cups of sugar into an improper fraction of 54/18, then you would see how many times 1/18 can go into 54/18 which is 54 times meaning that with 3 cups of sugar you can make a total of 54 cupcakes.

Answer:
x = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex], y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 3y - 7 = 12x + y
6y - 12x - 1 = -45x
(3x - 12x) + (3y - y) = 7
(-12x + 45x) + 6y = 1
-3(-9x + 2y = 7)
33x + 6y = 1
27x - 6y = -21
33x + 6y = 1
60x = -20 -> x = -20/60 = -1/3
-9x + 2y = 7 -> y = [tex]\frac{7+9x}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7+9*-\frac{1}{3}}{2}[/tex] = 2

A school sport's team sold hats for $12 each hat. The team made a profit of $3 for each hat sold. What percent of the selling price of each hat is the profit?
Answers
Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Selling price of each hat = $12
Profit on each hat = $3
To find: The percent of the selling price of each hat is the profit.
Ratio of profit to selling price = [tex]\dfrac3{12}=\dfrac14[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac14\times100=25\%[/tex]
The profit is 25% of the selling price.
