Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries. The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7. If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together, what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries.

The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7.

If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together,

find:

what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

solution:

add the ratios 5 + 5 + 7 = 17

since Cindy ate 30, less than Ann and Ben together so, the equation is

7x = 5x + 5x - 30

7x - 10x = -30

x = 30/3

x = 10

ann 5 x 10 = 50

ben 5 x 10 = 50

cindy 7 x 10 = 70  

total            = 170

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
