If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of steps taken by Pete will be 72.

<h3>What are a ratio and a proportion?</h3>

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

Pete, Lulu, and Liza are walking in the Boston downtown. Each time Pete takes 4 steps, Lulu takes 3 steps. Each time Lulu takes 5 steps, Liza takes 4 steps.

Then the relation between is given as

4 Pete → 4 Lulu

5 Lulu → 4 Liza

Then we have

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow \dfrac{5}{3} \ Lulu \rightarrow 4 \ Liza$

If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of the step taken by Pete will be

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow 4 \times 120 \\\\Pete \rightarrow 72$

How many pounds of cashew nuts worth 75 cents a pound must be mixed with 10 pounds of pecans worth $1.50 a pound to make a mixtu

Trava [24]

Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.

Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.

An equation for the value of the mixture follows:

$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)

Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:

15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.

Need 20 lb of cashews.

Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.

9.6x10^85/3x10^63 in scientific notation

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 9.6x10^85/3x10^63, we are to write it on scientific notation as shown:

9.6x10^85/3x10^63

= (9.8/3) * (10^85/10^63)

= (9.8/3) * 10^{85-63}

= (9.8/3) *10^22

= 3.27 *10^22

<em>Hence the expression in scientific notation is 3.27*10^22</em>

Two sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches. The length of longest side is unknown. What is the smallest poss

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$
