Answer:
261 of the graduates are planning to go to college.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a proportion question.
x 45
___ = ___
580 100
First do 45 x 580 = 26,100
Then divide by 100 to get 261.
Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense
If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3
Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)
So the answer is 2
Answer:
2 and 14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Lucy packs plates faster she packs 5 plates every minute. Mike packs 4 plates every minute because 3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes, then you divide 180 by 45 and the answer is 4 per minute.
Franco would have to pack 90 plates every 20 minutes (1/3 of an hour) for his rate to be between Lucy's and Mike's. Lucy's rate is at 100 plates per 20 minutes because she can pack 5 plates every minute. Mike's it's at 80 plates per 20 minutes because he can pack 4 plates per minute. So that means that For Franco to be in the middle he has to pack 90 Plates every 20 minutes.
Hope this helps!!!
The first y equals -3 and the second y equals -9
