Let x = amount of time the Arlen family must catch up to
overtake the Harris family
In principle, the Harris and the Arlen family should cover
the same distance. Since distance is speed x time,
45 (6+y) = 58y
270 + 45y = 58y
58y - 45y = 270
y = 270 ÷ 13
y= 20.77min
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
Answer: There are 10 sides
---------------------------------------------
x = measure of each interior angle
y = measure of each exterior angle
We know that x = 4y as "each interior angle is four times the measure of each exterior angle"
The interior and exterior adjacent angles are supplementary
x+y = 180
4y+y = 180
5y = 180
5y/5 = 180/5
y = 36
If y = 36, then
n = 360/y
n = 360/36
n = 10
Answer:
D. It would be less steep.
Step-by-step explanation:
→When the absolute value of the number in front of x is greater than 1, the function on the graph narrows. When the absolute value of the number in front of x is less than 1, the function on the graph widens.
<u>In this case, the number is less than 1, making it grow wider. And as a result of it growing wider, it also becomes less steep.</u>
