Answer:

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Ed and Sherrie save $90 each pay period from their combined paychecks, which total $1200. What percent do Ed and Sherrie save?

How much of $1200 is $90? $1200 is 100% = 1, $90 = x. So

$1200 - 1

$90 - x

1200x = 90

x = \frac{90}{1200}

x = 0.075

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

If EF bisects angle CEB, angle CEF=7x + 21 and angle FEB = 10x - 3, find the measure of DEB.
morpeh [17]

Answer: DEb = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

CEF = 7x + 21

FEB = 10x - 3

<u>Given expression deducted from the definition of the bisector</u>

FEB = CEF

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

10x - 3 = 7x + 21

<u>Subtract 7x on both sides</u>

10x - 3 - 7x = 7x + 21 - 7x

3x - 3 = 21

<u>Add 3 on both sides</u>

3x - 3 + 3 = 21 + 3

3x = 24

<u>Divide 3 on both sides</u>

3x / 3 = 24 / 3

x = 8

<u>Find the sum of the angle of CEF and FEB</u>

 7x + 21 + 10x - 3

=7 (8) + 21 + 10 (8) - 3

=56 + 21 + 80 - 3

=77 + 80 - 3

=157 - 3

=154

<u>Subtract 154 from the straight angle</u>

DEB = 180 - 154

\boxed{DEB = 26}

Hope this helps!! :)

2. A machine burns m gallons of oil each hour on weekends and ngallons each hour on weekdays. How many gallons of oil are burned
Lynna [10]

The question says the machine uses up m gallons of oil each hour on weekends.

This means that if the machine works for 24 hours each day, it implies that:

\text{Total amount of oil used up in a day = 24}\times m=24m

There are only two days on weekends i.e. Saturday and Sunday.

This means that if the amount of oil used in 1 day in the weekend is 24m, then we can say:

Saturday: oil used is 24m

Sunday: oil used is 24m

Total oil used during the weekend is:

24m+24m=48m

If the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 9/4 and its length is 18 cm, what is the width of the rectangle?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The width is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio of length to width is 9 to 4. and we know the length is 18, 18 is 2 times as much as 9, so 4*2=8.                   9*2=18,4*2=8
