Answer:

Gabriela Mistral works as a humanitarian for 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabriela Mistral was a poet, diplomat, teacher and humanitarian such that each week she worked a certain amount of days as a poet diplomat teacher and humanitarian.

Ratio is 1:1:3:2

Let x denotes total number of days Gabriela Mistral work.

As she works 12 days as a teacher,

\frac{3}{7}x=12\\ x=\frac{7}{3}(12)\\ x=28

Total number of days =x=28

So,

she works as a humanitarian for \frac{2}{7}x=\frac{2}{7}(28)=8 days.

Matt walker is paid weekly and earns 3.5% straight commission on sales of $6,500 or less and 5% on sales in excess of $6500.last
Nina [5.8K]
His total sales were "x"

now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more

so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x

we know, that both commissions added together, are $415

thus

0.035x + 0.05x = 415  <-----   solve for "x"

5/6-1/8 Solve by finding a common denominator<br><br> A)30/48<br> B)34/48<br> C)38/48<br> D)42/48
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

  B)  34/48

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.

__

The difference is ...

  \dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{40-6}{48}=\boxed{\dfrac{34}{48}}

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.

  5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

__

Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.

The store price= $12.00 *(1+0.5)= $18.00

Final price (tax added)= $18.00 + 7%

Final price= $18.00 * (1 + 0.07)= $19.26

If x = 10, which lines are parallel? Check all that apply.
natita [175]

Answer:

b||c; c||d; b||d

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting 10 for x, in the angle beside b we have

7(10)-5 = 70-5 = 65

In the angle beside c we have

10(10)+15 = 100+15 = 115

In the angle beside d we have

12(10)-5 = 120-5 = 115

In the angle beside we have

8(10)-25 = 80-25 = 55

The angle beside c has a vertical angle on the other side of c.  This angle would be same-side interior angles with the angle beside b; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by b and c and on the same side of a, the transversal.  These two angles are supplementary; this is because 65+115 = 180.  Since these angles are supplementary, this means that b||c.

The angle beside c and the angle beside d would be alternate interior angles; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by c and d and on opposite sides of the transversal.  These two angles are congruent; this means that c||d.

Since b||c and c||d, by the transitive property, b||d.
