Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x :
12.5% of x = 25

Changing 12.5% into decimal would be 0.125

Now we have the equation :

0.125x = 25

Divide both sides by 0.125 to make x the subject :

x = 25 ÷ 0.125

x = 200

To check we can substitute this value into the question :

12.5% of 200 = 25

Hope this helped and have a good day

The coordinates below lie on the line with the given slope. find the missing coordinate value. (2,2) (5,y) slope = 2

vodka [1.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The given points are; (2,2) and (5,y).

Slope (m) =2

Using formula for slope, we get;

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Put all values.

$2 = \frac{y - 2}{5 - 2}$

Simplify it to get value of"y".

$2 = \frac{y - 2}{3}$

$6 = y - 2$

$y = 6 + 2$

Therefore, y= 8.

Hope it helps...

. Suppose that the times required for a cable company to fix cable problems in its customers' homes are uniformly distributed be

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The probability that a randomly selected cable repair visit will take at least 43 minutes will be 88%.

Given: The times required for a cable company to fix cable problems in its customers' homes are uniformly distributed between 40 minutes and 65 minutes.

It can be deduced that the probability that a randomly selected cable repair visit will take at least 43 minutes will be calculated thus:

= 1 - [(43 - 40)/(65 - 40)

= 1 - 0.12

= 0.88

Hence, The probability that a randomly selected cable repair visit will take at least 43 minutes will be 88%.

What type(s) of symmetry does the figure have? (Check all that apply.)

monitta

2 Answers: A) line symmetry and B) rotational symmetry

=====================================================

Explanation:

We have line symmetry because we can draw a vertical line down the center, and this is a mirror line. One half folds over the vertical line to match up with the other half. There are other lines of symmetry as well.

We also have rotational symmetry because we can rotate the figure some amount of degrees and have it line up with its original image. The before and after will be identical. This applies to any regular polygon.
