We are given the ratio
Long : short = 4:1
and the sum
Long+short=25
=>
long = 25*(long/(long+short)=25*(4/(4+1))=20
Short =25*(short/(long+short)=25*(1/4+1)=5

denpristay [2]

Answer:

5.24, 21/4, or 5 and 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

78+139+14 = 231

231/44 = 5.25

Or 21/4 (improper fraction)

Or 5 and 1/4 (mixed number)

I'm not exactly sure what you were asking I hope that helps!

The distance from the Earth to Saturn averages 886 million (886,000,000) miles. Write this number in scientific notation.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

8.86 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation means that you represent the standard form of a number like this:

number less than ten x 10 to the ___ power

In standard form, the decimal point is at the end of 886,000,000.

You have to move the decimal point to the left until it creates a number less than 10, but greater than 1:

8.86,000,000

You count how many decimal places you moved it. In this case, it is 8.

So your answer becomes 8.86 x 10^8

91. Jack can read 45 pages of his book in one and a
Digiron [165]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

45 pages per 1 hour and 30 minutes,  or 60 min +30 min =90 min

90 minutes / 45 pages has to be equal to an equivalent fraction where we have 300 pages

90 minutes /45 pages = ? minutes / 300 pages , multiply both sides by 300

? minutes = 90*300/45 = 600 minutes

to read 300-page book will take 600 minutes = 10 hours

Two lines intersect and two of the vertical.angles measure 37 what is the measure of the other two vertical angles
Hoochie [10]
Lets start of with what we know.
• There are two 27 degree angles 27 + 27 = 52 is the sum of the angles.
•There are 360 degrees all around the intersection

So, we can find out the sum of the 2 angles that are unknown by subtracting.
360-52=308

So, if the sum of the unknown 2 angles are 308, we can divide by 2 to find the measure of the unknown angles.
308/2=154
