The ratio of white beans to pinto beans in a jar is 5: 2. if there are 36 more white beans than pinto beans, how many pinto beans are in the jar?

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pinto beans be x , that is the number of white beans will be x + 36 , which means the total number of beans in the jar will be x + x + 36 = 2x + 36

Total ratio = 5 + 2  = 7

To find the number of pinto beans ,it will be

ratio of pinto beans / Total ratio  X Total number of beans , that is

X (2x + 36) = x

multiplying through by 7 , we have

2(2x+36) = 7x

4x + 72 = 7x

collecting the like terms , we have

72 = 7x - 4x

72 = 3x

x = 24

Therefore there are 24 pinto beans in the jar

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
