Answer:

∠ A = 130° , ∠ B = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles sum to 180°

express ∠ A in terms of ∠ B , that is ∠ A = 3∠B - 20 , then

∠ A + ∠ B = 180° , that is

3∠B - 20+ ∠B = 180 ( add 20 to both sides )

4∠B = 200 (divide both sides by 4 )

∠ B = 50°

∠ A = 3 × 50° - 20 = 150° - 20° = 130°

Finding equal shares if two friends share 3 fruit bars

One friend would get 1 whole and then you would have to split the 3 in half and give that to your friends. So they each get 1 1/2.

It takes 32 hours for a motorboat moving downriver to get from pier A to pier B. The return journey takes 48 hours. How long doe

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u $\frac{km}{hr}$

Speed of current = v $\frac{km}{hr}$

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

$32 = \frac{100}{u +v}$

$u + v = \frac{100}{32}$

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

$48 = \frac{100}{u -v}$

$u -v = \frac{100}{48}$

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 $\frac{km}{hr}$

v = 0.5205 $\frac{km}{hr}$

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

$T = \frac{100}{v}$

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

$T = \frac{100}{0.5205}$

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr

A shelf can be packed from end to end with 30 large books or 45 small books.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since 30÷45 = 2/3 then

The space taken by a small book is equal to

the space taken by 2/3 a large book.

…………………………………………………

<u><em>Calculating the number of large book corresponding to 23 small books</em></u> :

= 23×(2÷3) + 3

= 18.333333333333 (large book)

Then ,Kevin can pack the shelf with (at most) : 30 - 19 = 11 more large books
