Answer:

If she saved 30% off the original price which is the same as saying she saved $18.00.

That means $18.00 is 30% of the original price.

Let x be original price of the sweater

.3x = 18

x= 18/.3

x= $60.00

Can you help me with this problem: Elena and Jada both read at a constant rate, but Elena reads more slowly. For every 4 pages t

Paraphin [41]

4 pages Elena = 5 pages Jada

To figure out how many pages Jada reads if Elena reads 1, divide 5 by 4: 1.25. This means that for every 1 page Elena reads, Jada reads 1.25 pages.

So if Elena reads 9 pages, multiply 1.25 by 9: 11.25 pages that Jada reads.

For S pages read by Elena, this is a variable, so I’m assuming it means for every S pages, Jada reads 1.25S

A square has sides measuring 3 feet. If the sides of a square are doubled, will the area also double? Explain

Kryger [21]

Hello!

Let's find the area and see!

A = s^2

A = 3^2

A = 6 ft^2

Now, if you double 3, you get 6. 3 × 2 = 6 Find the area:

A = 6^6

A = 36 ft^2

ANSWER:

No, the area will not be doubled. The area was 9 ft^2 when the sides were 3 feet long. If you double 9, you get 18, since 9 × 2 = 18.

36 is not the double of 9, so no, the area is not double.

triangle abc has vertices at a(-2 3),B(0,3),c(-1,-1). Find the coordinates of the image after a reflection over the x-axis.

Crazy boy [7]

The new coordinates of the triangle after reflection from x-axis would be A(-2, -3) , B(0, -3) and C( -1, 1 )

Explanation:

The vertices of the triangle are A(-2 3), B(0,3), C(-1,-1)

The reflection is over the x-axis.

When the reflection is along the x-axis, the coordinates of x does not change. However, the coordinates of y does change.

The negative value of y becomes positive and the positive value of y becomes negative.

Similarly,

A(-2, 3) would become A(-2, -3)

B(0, 3) would become B(0, -3)

C(-1, -1) would become C( -1, 1 )

Therefore, the new coordinates of the triangle after reflection from x-axis would be A(-2, -3) , B(0, -3) and C( -1, 1 )

An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = $C$ days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2 $C$ days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = $\frac{1}{2C}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$ + $\frac{1}{2C}$ = Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days$

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 $\times$ 2= 6 days
