Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2.5, sqrt(18), and 5 make up the sides of a right triangle, then they must satisfy A^2+B^2=C^2, where C is the longer side (hypotenuse).

In this case, 5 is the greater of the 3, so let's see if it satisfies our equation:

2.5^2+sqrt(18)^2=5^2

-> 6.25+18 = 24.25 =/= 25

-> Therefore the answer is a resounding no.

A dairy farmer wants to mix a 85% protein supplement and a standard 55% protein ration to make 1200 pounds of a high-grade 80% p

mr_godi [17]

The diary farmer should use 1000 pounds of 85 % protien and 55 % of 200 pounds to make 1200 pounds of a high-grade 80% protein ration

Solution:

Let the amount of 85 % protien supplement be "x"

Then amount of 55 % protien be (1200 - x)

According to given question,

85 % of "x" protien supplement + 55 % of 1200 - x protien used to get 80 % of 1200 pounds

85 % of x + 55 % of (1200 - x) = 80 % of 1200

$\frac{85}{100} \times x + \frac{55}{100} \times (1200 - x) = \frac{80}{100} \times 1200\\\\0.85x + 0.55(1200 - x) = 960\\\\0.85x + 660 - 0.55x = 960\\\\0.3x = 960 - 660\\\\0.3x = 300\\\\x = 1000$

Pounds of 85 % protien used = 1000 pounds

Then pounds of 55 % protien used = 1200 - 1000 = 200 pounds

Thus he should use 1000 pounds of 85 % protien and 200 pounds of 55 % protien to get 1200 pounds of a high-grade 80% protein ration

==> False

This statement is false. To solve the system by substitution, replace x in the second equation with 7−6x.

==> False.

This statement is false. To solve the system by substitution, replace y in the first equation with 7−6x.

==> False

This statement is false. To solve the system by substitution, replace y in the second equation with 6x−7.

==> True.

From the first equation, 6x-y=7

y= 6x-7

Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. Considering this data, how many of his next 20 free-throw attempts would you exp

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The fraction computed shows that the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss is 15.

<h3>How to solve the fraction?</h3>

From the information given, Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. The fraction missed will be:

= 12/16

= 3/4

Therefore, the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss will be:

= 3/4 × 20

= 15
