It is easier to use decimals than fractions when dealing with money. Let's say you have half of a dollar (which is 0.50 in decimal form) and the register lady asks you for 50 cents, it is easier to say 50 cents than 1/2 of a dollar.

Sixth grade
Because if you divide their total profit by the total amount of hours they worked, you would find that the sixth grade's income per hour is the highest.
Sixth grade: 170÷5=34
Seven grade: 112÷4=28
Eighth grade: 192÷6=32

Is 2x and 5x^2 like terms?

ki77a [65]

No, they are not like terms because they cannot be added together. 5x^2 is squared, whereas 2x is not. Though they both have x variables attached to them, they are not like terms because one is squared and the other is not. Examples of like terms include 5 and 8, 4y and 7y, 8z^2 and 10z^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

Find the measure of each angle using the triangle sum theorem and exterior angle theorem

Paladinen [302]

(please open my photo for reference as you read, I am a visual learner/explainer so it will make the most sense that way)

So the first thing you want to do is look at the exterior angle 130°. A straight line is 180°, and every Triangle's angular sum is 180°. How I think of it is that every straight line has a mini protractor on either side. It makes it a bit easier to understand.

180 - 130 = 50

You now know that two of the angles are 50°.

You now have two of the measurements for the triangle farthest to the left.

75° and 50°

75 + 50 = 125

180 - 125 = 55

a = 55°

Now that you have all the measurements for the first triangle, let's move onto the next one.

With two measurements for the second triangle, all you need to do is find their sum and subtract that from 180 and you will have the third measurement!

50 + 60 = 110

180 - 110 = 70

b = 70°

Finally, for the last triangle, you already have two of the measurements 60° and 85°.

85 + 60 = 145

180 - 145 = 35

c = 35°

Sorry if this explanation is a bit messy, it's hard to describe certain things without a letter or some kind of name to differentiate between them verbally.

I hope this helps! <3

(a) The Feelgood Gym has a monthly membership fee of $100 and it charges an addi-

Ierofanga [76]

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be 1000 + x.

a. Monthly membership fee = $100

Additional amount charged = $1 per hour.

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be:

= 1000 + 1(x)

= 1000 + x

b. Also, if the amount charged is $35 per month and $3.50 per hour, the total cost will be:

= 35 + 3.50(x)

= 35 + 3.5x

c. The number of hours that will give same cost will be:

1000 + x = 35 + 3.5x

Collect like terms.

1000 - 35 = 3.5x - x

965 = 2.5x

x = 965/2.5

x = 386

In 386 hours, the total cost will be the same.

Please help <br> The diagram shows a 5ft student standing near a tree

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows two triangles that are similar. Similar triangles have equal angles and sides that are proportional to each other. Since the base of each triangle is given, we can find the proportion of the sides:

$\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}$

Given the ratio of the smaller to larger triangle, we can set up a proportion to find the missing height of the larger triangle:

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{x}$ , where 'x' represent the height of the tree

cross-multiply: x = (5)(5) or 25 ft
