Answer: D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given picture , we have given a triangle ΔMLN in which

ML= 4x and MN= x+3

∠L=∠N=50°

⇒ MN=ML [∵ Basically by Isosceles triangle property :sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle area equal.]

$\Rightarrow\ x+3=4x$

Subtract x from both sides , we get

$3=3x$

Divide bothe sides by x , we get

1= x or x =1

Then, the length of MN = x+3=1+3=4 units

emmainna [20.7K]

To do this, find the slope, y-intercept, and your goal.

Your goal is 500.
Your slope is 6.25 per orange.
Your y-intercept is 0 (you don't start out with anything.)

So, the inequality is $500 \leq 6.25x$ .

You have just isolated a new radioactive element. If you can determine its half-life, you will win the Nobel Prize in physics. Y

Staals half
1 gram left
0.3 grams left
half lives are normally written in years
it goes likt this

$A=P( \frac{1}{2})^ \frac{t}{h}$
A=final amount
P=initila amount
t=time elapsed
h=time half life is (same units as time)

let's use days as the units of time

we are given
initial amount=1gram
final amount=0.3gram
time=4 days

so
$0.3=1( \frac{1}{2})^ \frac{4}{h}$
solve for h
$0.3=( \frac{1}{2})^ \frac{4}{h}$
take the ln of both sides
$ln(0.3)=ln( \frac{1}{2})^ \frac{4}{h}$
$ln(0.3)=\frac{4}{h}ln( \frac{1}{2})$
times both sides by h
$hln(0.3)=4ln( \frac{1}{2})$
divide both sides by ln(0.3)
$h= \frac{4ln( \frac{1}{2}) }{ln(0.3)}$
use calculator
h=2.30287
3 sig figs
h=2.303 days

At the park, 4/7 of the children are boys. if there are 8 boys at the park, how many are girls?

Oksana_A [137]

There are 4/7 boys, so there are 3/7 girls.

Let the total number of children be x.

4/7x = 8
1/7x = 8 ÷ 4
1/7x = 2
3/7x = 2 x 3
3/7x = 6

There are 6 girls.

Question 3 (Multiples and Factors] Three numbers are given below. Use prime factorisation to determine the HCF and LCM 1848 132

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Prime factorization involves rewriting numbers as products

The HCF and the LCM of 1848, 132 and 462 are 66 and 1848 respectively

<h3>How to determine the HCF</h3>

The numbers are given as: 1848, 132 and 462

Using prime factorization, the numbers can be rewritten as:

$1848 = 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 11$
