Question

If AB:BC is 3:11, solve for x.

Answer 1

anyone??? D:

Answer 2

Wait. I'm confused. Isn't AB supposed to be 3? And isn't that supposed to be where X is? This is all quite strange.

Answer 3

I totally feel like it's a trick question!!

Answer 4

I know! it's so weird! I even asked my older sister (she graduated highschool so she's pretty smart) and even she didn't know what it was!

Answer 5

noooooo!!!!!! I can not figure this out at all.

Answer 6

Hang on. You wait right there! I'm gonna go look this up.

Answer 7

Hang on. What subject is this? I mean I know it's a form of math, but is there like a specific name for it? Is it a certain type of geometry?

Answer 8

Ratio and Proportion in Geometry.

Answer 9

Well that should help for my solution hunting.

Answer 10

I think I might get it now. So the ratio means that whatever AB is, BC is 3.67 times bigger.

Answer 11

So I think what you need to do is divide 33 by 3.67. Whatever the result of that is is X.

Answer 12

So about 9

Answer 13

ohhhhhhh okay, I kept getting 6 but I totally am seeing where you got the 9. Thank you so much! weeee!

Answer 14
