Answer:
Abdullah is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.
The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.
120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz
Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.
Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.
Abdullah is correct.
P is the point (2,k)
PA = PB
PA = √(49 + (2-k)²) and PB = √(1 + (6 - k)²)
√(49 + (2-k)²) = √(1 + (6 - k)²) => (49 + (2-k)² = (1 + (6 - k)²
=> 49 + 4 - 4k + k² = 1 + 36 - 12k + k² => 8k = 37 - 53 = -16 => k = -2
Answer: 864 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Rather than calculating the whole area of bathroom and area of one tile, It is quicker and easier to determine how many rows of tiles that will be needed.
Note that 1 feet = 12 inches
Each tile measures 3 inches on each side.
Length: 9 feet = 9 × 12 = 108 inches
Therefore, 108/3 = 36 tiles will fit along the length.
Width: 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Therefore, 72/3 = 24 tiles will fit along the width.
So, (36 × 24) = 864 tiles will be needed.
Answer:
multiple choice is worth 2
short response is worth 4
Step-by-step explanation:
23x + 10y = 86
28x + 5y = 76
solve by elimination
multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by 2
-23x + -10y = -86
56x + 10y = 152
add them
33x = 66
x = 2
with x = 2 plug x into one of the equations
23x + 10y = 86
23(2) + 10y = 86
46 + 10y = 86
10y = 40
y = 4
x = 2 and y = 4 so

Answer: -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 5 = 16 (add 5 to 16)
-3x = 21 (divide by -3)
x = -7
