Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be a+b+c+d.

the average of 4 numbers is 38

; (a+b+c+d)/4 = 38

(a+b+c+d) = 152 ......equ1

the average of the first two numbers is 42

; (a+b)/2 = 42

(a+b) = 84 ...... equ2

the average of the last three numbers is 36

; (b+c+d)/3 = 36

(b+c+d) = 108 .....equ3

substitute equ3 into equ1

a + 108 = 152

a= 152 - 108

a = 44

input the value of a into equ2

44 + b = 84

b = 40

the second number is 40.

I hope this helps.

Identify the figure that portrays the translation of the given preimage as indicated by the direction arrow.
ladessa [460]

The parallelogram will translate along the arrow and reach the head of the arrow.

The translation is a category of motion in which one body moves along towards a particular direction and reaches a particular point.

In translation, the rotational motion is not present. Also, the translational motion is a one-dimensional motion.

In the given figure, the parallelogram is present at the tail of the arrow.

The arrow depicts the direction of the translational motion.

So, the parallelogram will reach the end of the arrow as shown in the picture present in the attachment.

Solve for x in terms of r, s and t : s=2x+t/r
Anna007 [38]

For this case we have the following equation:

s = \frac {2x + t} {r}

We must clear the value of the variable "x" as a function of r, s and t:

If we multiply by "r" on both sides of the equation we have:

rs =2x + t

If we subtract "t" on both sides of the equation we have:

rs-t = 2x

If we divide by "2" on both sides of the equation we have:

x = \frac {rs-t} {2}

Thus, the value of the variable "x" is:

x = \frac {rs-t} {2}

Answer:

x = \frac {rs-t} {2}

Several students were asked to name the kinds of animals they saw in the past week at the park. Determine the ratio that compare
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

A. 1:8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that several students were asked to name the kinds of animals they saw in the past week at the park.

Dogs: 8

Cat: 2

Fish: 4

Lizard: 2

We are asked to find the ratio that compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen.

Let us find total number of animal by adding each type of animals as:

\text{Total animals}=8+2+4+2

\text{Total animals}=16

We can see that the students saw 2 cats, so ratio of cats to total animals would be 2:16.

Dividing 2 and 16 by 2, we will get:

\frac{2}{2}:\frac{16}{2}\Rightarrow 1:8

Therefore, the ratio 1:8 compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen and option A is the correct choice.
