ASAP! Raul needs to make a soil mixture of 2/5 sand, 2/5 clay, and 1/5 peat moss to pot his plants. He has 75 pounds of sand. How many total pounds of soil will Raul have if he adds clay and peat moss to the sand to make the correct mixture? A. 112.5 pounds
B. 150 pounds
C. 187.5 pounds
E. 225 pounds

Given:

Raul needs to make a soil mixture of sand, clay, and peat moss to pot his plants.

He has 75 pounds of sand.

To find:

The total pounds of soil.

Solution:

Let x be the total points of soil.

It is given that of total soil is sand.

He has 75 pounds of sand.

The total pounds of soil is 187.5 pounds. Therefore, the correct option is C.

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
