Answer: The converse is "If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon" and it is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to state the converse of the following conditional statement and to determine whether it is true or false :

"If a polygon is a regular pentagon, then it has 5 sides".

We know that

the converse of a conditional statement "p ⇒ q" is given by "q ⇒ p".

Therefore, the CONVERSE of given conditional statement is

"If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon".

The converse is not true, because if a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a pentagon, not necessarily a regular pentagon.

Thus, the converse is "If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon" and it is FALSE.

The table below shows the amount of lemon juice and sugar needed to make three different-sized batches of lemonade using the sam

mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Lemon juice (mL) Sugar (gr)

Batch A 500 200

Batch B 750 300

Batch C 1,500 600

2. Write an equation to describe the relationship between j, the amount of lemon juice in mL, and s, the amount of sugar in g.

Ratio = Amount of lemon juice/Amount of sugar

Ratio = 500/200 = 750/300 = 1,500/600

Ratio = 2.5

Now, we can write the equation, this way:

68 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 54 is 72.

Andru [333]

68 + (x / 54) = 72 68 + (x / 54) • 54 = 72 • 54 68 + x = 72 • 54 68 + x = 3,888 68 + x - 68 = 3,888 - 68 x = 3,888 - 68 x = 3,820 I'm pretty sure this is right. Good luck!

Eliza brought 3 pans of homemade fruit bars to school. Her classmates ate 7/12 of each pan. Eliza gave 1 whole pan of the leftov

-BARSIC- [3]

To solve this, you have to take 7/12 out of each pan first, so how to do that is to divide each pan into 1/12. So you did that, and all three pans equal 36/12. Great. Eliza has 36/12 fruit bars.
Now, you see that the classmates at 7/12 out of EACH. To find that out, you just multiply 7/12 by 3 which is 21/12. Subtract 21/12 from 36/12 since the classmates ate 21/12 out of the total and you get 15/12.
Now she gave 1 pan to the secretaries, which is 12/12, so you subtract that from the 15/12 you have left over. That's 3/12.

And she brought 3/12 home. You can simplify that into 1/4.
