Step-by-step explanation:

In figure:

∠PRT+∠RTP+∠TPR=180

(angle sum property of triangle)

⇒x+(180

−∠RTQ)+60

=180

(linear pair)

⇒x+(180

−97

)+60

=180

⇒x=31

Now, ∠PRT+∠TRQ+∠QRS=180

(angle of straight line)

⇒x+48

+y=180

⇒31

+48

+y=180

⇒y=101

Dan weighs 205 pounds but is only 5 feet 8 inches tall. Evan is 6 feet tall. How much would you expect Evan to weigh if they hav

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Around 217 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = $5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68$

6 feet $= 6\cdot12 = 72$ .

We can set up a proportion

$\frac{205}{68} = \frac{x}{72}$

We can use the cross products property to find x.

$205\cdot72=14760\\\\\\14760\div68\approx217$

Hope this helped!

the gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 15 gallons were added to the tank the gauge read 3/4 full. How many mo

Nostrana [21]

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.

Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)

15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18

So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.

Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

There are 25 students in Mrs. Venetozzi’s class at the beginning of the school year, and the average number of siblings for each

andrezito [222]

Adding the student with eight siblings will increase the class average amount of siblings because this student has more siblings than the average.

Therefore, the average number of siblings that each student has is larger than the original average.
