A salesman sold twice as much pears in the afternoon than in the morning. If he sold 360 kilograms of pears that day, how many kilograms did he sell in the morning and how many in the afternoon? i need full expl tp

Let \displaystyle xx be the number of kilograms he sold in the morning.Then in the afternoon he sold \displaystyle 2x2x kilograms. So, the total is \displaystyle x + 2x = 3xx+2x=3x. This must be equal to 360.

\displaystyle 3x = 3603x=360

\displaystyle x = \frac{360}{3}x=  

3

360

​  

\displaystyle x = 120x=120

Therefore, the salesman sold 120 kg in the morning and \displaystyle 2\cdot 120 = 2402⋅120=240 kg in the afternoon.

Step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
