The number of apples in the basket are; 24 apples

<h3>How to simplify simultaneous equations?</h3>

Let there be X number of apples and Y number of oranges.

Thus by the given ratio we can say that;

x/y = 3/8   -----(1)

(x — 1)/y = 1/3

3x — 3 = y   ----(2)

Substitute 3x - 3 for y in eq 1 to get;

x/(3x - 3) = 3/8

8x = 9x - 9

9x - 8x = 9

x = 9

Thus;

y = 3(9) - 3

y = 24 apples

Compare the surface area-to-volume ratios of the moon and mars. express your answer using two significant figures.
antoniya [11.8K]

we know that

For a spherical planet of radius r, the volume V and the surface area SA is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3} *\pi *r^{3} \\ \\ SA=4*\pi *r^{2}

The
ratio of these two quantities may be written as

SAV =\frac{(4*\pi*r^{2})}{(\frac{4}{3}*\pi*r^{3})}     \\  \\ SAV =\frac{3}{r}

we know

rMoon=1,738Km\\ rMars=3,397 Km

\frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3}{rMoon} *\frac{rMars}{3} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{rMars}{rMoon} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3,397}{1,738} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =1.9545

therefore

the answer is

1.9

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

B) m∠ A'B'C' = m∠ABC

Step-by-step explanation:

A rotation does not change angle measure or side length.  It preserves congruence.

This means that the image angle, A'B'C', will be congruent to the pre-image angle, ABC.
