Answer:

9 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we were told that a 300-pound weight and a 450-pound weight are placed on each end of a 15-foot bar.

The diagram illustrating the question can be seen on the attached photo.

Weight 1 (W1) = 300 pound

Weight 2 (W2) = 450 pound.

Distance to which the fulcrum must be placed in order to balance (d1) = x

Distance from the other side of the bar (d2) = 15 – x

W1d1 = W2d2

300 × x = 450 (15 – x)

Clear bracket

300x = 6750 – 450x

Collect like terms

300x + 450x = 6750

750x = 6750

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 750

x = 6750/750

x = 9 foot.

Therefore, the fulcrum must be placed at 9 foot in order to balance the bar.

In the figure, ∠1 ≅ ∠2, ∠3 ≅ ∠4, and . You can justify the conclusion that ∠TKL ≅ ∠TLK by stating _____
VladimirAG [237]
From the question, we know that we will be looking at <3, <4, and angles TKL and TLK. That being said, since <3 is congruent to <4, that means that angles TKL and TLK, which are each supplementary to either angle 3 or 4, are congruent because, since angles 3 and 4 are congruent, they are congruent because the supplements of congruent angles are congruent.

Answer:  $277.91

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The average of the 2 highest salaried quarters is:

\dfrac{\$13,500+\$12,775}{2}=\dfrac{\$26,275}{2}=\$3,137.50

Divide that by 26 (weeks) to find out her average weekly salary:

\dfrac{\$3,137.50}{26}=\$505.29

Multiply that by 55% (0.55) to calculate her weekly unemployment benefit:

\$505.29(0.55)=\$277.908

Round to the nearest penny --> $277.91

Select the problems which show the correct answers. (1.12 x 105) (6.06 x 105) Answer: 6.79 x 1010 (2 x 101)(3.0 x 101) Answer: 6
Arisa [49]
Since multiplication is commutative, we can rearrange the problem: 
(1.12*10^5)(6.06*10^5) = (1.12*6.06)(10^5*10^5)
Using the properties of exponents, we have:
(1.12*6.06)(10^10)&#10;\\=6.7872*10^10

Again, multiplication is commutative, so we rearrange the problem; then we use the product property of exponents:
(2*10^1)(3*10^1)&#10;\\=(2*3)(10^1*10^1)&#10;\\=6*10^2

(2.775*10^-^4)(4.775*10^4)&#10;\\=(2.775*4.775)(10^-^4*10^4)&#10;\\=(2.775*4.775)(10^0)&#10;\\=(2.775*4.775)(1)&#10;\\=2.775*4.775=13.250625=1.3250625*10^1

5(8.14*10^2)=(5*8.14)(10^2)=40.7*10^2=4.07*10^3
