The maximum height of a vehicle that can safely pass under a bridge is 12 feet 5 inches. A truck measures 162 inches in height.

Which best explains whether or not the truck can pass safely under the bridge?

Height of the truck =m 162 inches Height of the bridge under which vehicles pass = 12 feet 5 inches = (12 * 12) + 5 inches = 144 + 5 inches = 149 inches We arrived at the above deduction from the fact that 1 feet is equal to 12 inches. Now Difference in height of the truck and the bridge is = 162 - 149 inches = 13 inches So the truck is 13 inches taller than the maximum height of the bridge. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope it helps you

So 20=2 itmes m2 times 5

5m=5 times m

so
5m=20
5 times m=2 times 2 times 5
divid eboth sides y 5
m=2 times 2
m=4

Jasmine has taken an online boating safety course and is now completing her end-of-course exam. As she answers each question, th

dsp73

Answer:

There are 60 total questions on the course exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of questions finished by Jasmine = 12

Percentage shown on the bar = 20%

The total number of questions will be 100%, therefore, 20% of the questions are equal to 12.

Let,

x be the total number of questions on the course exam

20% of x = 12

$\frac{20}{100}x=12\\0.2x=12$

Dividing both sides by 0.2

$\frac{0.2x}{0.2}=\frac{12}{0.2}\\x=60$

Hence,

There are 60 total questions on the course exam.

Given the line y = − 2 5 x + 3, determine if the given line is parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Select the correct answer fo

Answer:

(a) Neither

(a) Perpemdicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the relationship between given lines

(a)

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 3$

and

$y = \frac{2}{5}x + 7$

An equation written in form: $y=mx + b$ has the slope:

$m \to slope$

So, in both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{2}{5} \ne -1$

(b)

$5y + 2x = -10$

and

$-5x + 2y = 4$

Write equations in form: $y=mx + b$

$5y + 2x = -10$

$5y = -2x +10$

Divide by 5

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x +2$

$-5x + 2y = 4$

$2y = 5x + 4$

Divide by 2

$y = \frac{5}{2}x + 2$

In both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is true in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{5}{2} = -1$

Cancel out 2 and 5

$-1 = -1$
