We can set this up by saying:
3 / 30 = x / 140 now we can solve!
1 / 10 = x / 140
x = 140 / 10
x = 14

Hope this helps! :)

Ray collects cars and trucks. Over the years, the number of cars he collected is 8 less than twice

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Number of Trucks = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of cars and truck = 43

Find:

Number of Trucks

Computation:

Assume

Number of Trucks = x

Number of Cars = 2x - 8

Total number of cars and truck = Number of Trucks + Number of Cars

43 = x + 2x - 8

51 = 3x

x = 17

Number of Trucks = 17

bath walked 10 7/8 miles one week she walk 2 1/4 fewer miles the following week about how many miles did she walk the second wee

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

8 and 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is just subtraction of fractions. First, you subtract the whole numbers. 10-2=8. Then you subtract the fractions. To do this, you have to make them equivalent. Just multiply the 1/4 by 2 and you get 2/8. Now, 7/8 - 2/8 = 5/8. Your final answer is 8 and 5/8

Pleaseee helppp with thissss asapppp

As we know that the standard equation of circle is ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$ , where <em>r</em> is the radius of circle and centre at <em>(h,k) </em>

Now , as the circle passes through <em>(2,9)</em> so it must satisfy the above equation after putting the values of <em>h</em> and <em>k</em> respectively

${:\implies \quad \sf \{2-(-1)\}^{2}+(9-5)^{2}=r^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf (3)^{2}+(4)^{2}=r^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 9+16=r^{2}}$

After raising ½ power to both sides , we will get <em>r = +5 , -5</em> , but as radius can never be -<em>ve</em> . So <em>r = +</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

Now , putting values in our standard equation ;

${:\implies \quad \sf \{x-(-1)\}^{2}+(y-5)^{2}=(5)^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{(x+1)^{2}+(y-5)^{2}=25}}}$

<em>This is the required equation of </em><em>Circle</em>

Answer:

The correct choice is the third answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrow on top of the letters means that they would be parallel. If you look closely at the diagram, you can see that both QR and TU go in the same direction and will never intersect.
