The drawing shows a stack of alternating cups. The cups are 9.2 cm high. How many cups will fit in a door that is 211.77 cm high

KIM [24]

Answer:

The total number of whole cups that we can fit in the dispenser is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height of each cup is 20 cm.

But when we stack them one on top of the other, they only add a height of 0.8 to the stack.

The stack of cups has to be put in a dispenser of height 30 cm.

So we need o find out how many cups can fit in the dispenser.

Since the first cup is 20 cm high, the height cannot be reduced. So the space to fit in the remaining cups in the stack is only 30-20 cm as that’s the remaining space in the dispenser

So,

30 - 20 = 10 cm

To stack the other cups we have 10 cm of height remaining

As we know that addition of each adds 0.8 cm to the stack, the total number of cups that can be fit in the dispenser can be calculated by the following equation. Let the number of cups other than the first cup be denoted by ‘x’.

10 + 0.8x = 30

0.8x = 20

x = 25

The total number of cups that we can fit in dispenser is 25

krek1111 [17]

There is 7,000 female students, and 5,000 male students. Because, if there was 2,000 more female students then male, you have to find out what two numbers add up to 12,000. (Tip, to make it easier, take away the thousands, like 7+5)

Which series of transformations would transform triangle A into similar triangle A' in Quadrant IV? A. Rotate triangle A 90 cloc

VikaD [51]

Answer:

<u>option D</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to transform triangle A into similar triangle A' in Quadrant IV.

The given triangle in Quadrant II.

We will check the options:

A. Rotate triangle A 90 clockwise about the origin then translate five units up.

Wrong because triangle A' will be at Quadrant I.

B. Dilate triangle A by a scale factor of 4. Translate triangle A to the left.

Wrong because triangle A' will be at Quadrant II.

C. Reflect triangle A across the y-axis and then translate the triangle 3 units up and 2 units to the right.

Wrong because triangle A' will be at Quadrant I.

D. Reflect triangle A across the x-axis and then reflect the triangle across the y-axis.

True Because reflection triangle A across the x-axis, the first image will be at Quadrant III, then reflection the first image across the y-axis, we will get triangle A' will be at Quadrant IV.

<u>So, the answer is option D</u>
