The answer is 10 fluid ounces. 1000 divided by 10 = 100 so if you multiply 0.1 by 100 you get 10. So therefore, 1,000 drops is equal to 10 fluid ounces
23. The answer is B) x-6.
23.) The answer is D) x + 3
<h3>Answer: Choice B) 8.57</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The triangles are similar through the AA (angle angle) similarity rule. Note how the angle markers correspond and match up. Example: angle C and angle F both have triple angle markers to indicate these angles are congruent.
The corresponding sides pair up to form equal fractions. AB and DE form AB/DE which is equal to AC/DF, as these two sides correspond as well.
Therefore: AB/DE = AC/DF
Let's plug in the given values and isolate x
AB/DE = AC/DF
11/7 = (15+x)/15 ...... substitution
11*15 = 7*(15+x) ....... cross multiply
11*15 = 7*15+7*x ...... distribute
165 = 105+7x
165-105 = 105+7x-105 ..... subtract 105 from both sides
60 = 7x
7x = 60
7x/7 = 60/7 ............ divide both sides by 7
x = 8.57142857142858
x = 8.57 ..... rounding to the nearest hundredth
<h3>
Answer: 3 units</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
The y coordinates are identical, so we just need to focus on the x coordinates.
Going from 0 to -3 is a distance of 3 units. Drawing out a number line might help.
Or we could apply subtraction and absolute value
|x1-x2| = |0-(-3)| = |0+3| = |3| = 3
which is the same as
|x2-x1| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3
The absolute value is to ensure the result is never negative. Distance is never negative.
Side note: if the y coordinates weren't the same, then we'd have to use either the pythagorean theorem or the distance formula.
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.
Substitute again.
Multiply.
Subtract.
Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.
