Answer:

A road with a pitch of 1 in 8 is steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us convert these to the same units so that we can better compare them.

\frac{1}{8} = 0.125

0.125=12.5 %

As 12.5% is greater than 12%, the road with a pitch of 1 in 8 will be steeper.

3valuate the diagram below. Find the values of m and n.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

m = 20 and n = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the right has 2 congruent sides and is isosceles

Thus the 2 base angles are congruent, that is

n = \frac{180-110}{2} = \frac{70}{2} = 35

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite internal angles.

110 is an external angle to the triangle on the left, thus

m + 90 = 110 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

m = 20

Ray is six years younger than Tom. John is three times as old as Ray. Let Tom be x years old. The three of them
gtnhenbr [62]
Answer:

Ray = 19 yrs old
Tom = 25 yrs old
John = 57 yrs old

Explanation:

Let x be the years of Tom

R = x - 6
J = 3R = 3(x - 6)
T = x

R + J + T = 101
x - 6 + 3(x - 6) + x = 101
2x - 6 + 3x - 18 = 101
5x - 24 = 101
5x = 125
x = 125/5 = 25

R = 25 - 6 = 19
J = 3(25 - 6) = 57
T = 25
