1. It's all about pattern matching, as a lot of math is.
Letter A corresponds to letter J, as both are first in the names of their respective triangles.
Letter B corresponds to letter K, as both are second in the triangle names. Likewise, letter C corresponds to letter L, as both are last.

Realizing this, it should not be too much of a stretch to see
∠B ⇒ ∠K
∠C ⇒ ∠L
AC ⇒ JL
BC ⇒ KL

2. Same deal. Match the patterns. Here, you're counting rings in the angle marks.
1 ⇒ 1, so A ⇒ R
2 ⇒ 2, so B ⇒ Q
since the figures are reportedly similar, you can continue in the same order to finish.
ABCD ~ RQPS

3. The marked triangles cannot be similar. There are a number of ways to figure this. Basically, you want the ratios of sides to be the same for any similar triangles.

Here, you can eliminate the marked ones because the short side is too short relative to the others. (The average of the other two sides is double the short side in the similar triangles.)

Kali spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the gutters for $9. What is her

Ber [7]

So to find the answer to this, you have to consider that $\frac{1}{2} x + 9 = 13$ - half because half the pocket money (x) was spend on clothes, then plus 9 because that's how much extra she gained and 13 because that was the result of all the changes.

To solve this, first subtract 9 from both side, which leaves you with $\frac{1}{2} x = 4$ and $\frac{1}{2} x$ is the same as $\frac{1x}{2}$ , so to solve this, multiply both sides of the equation by two, resulting in $x = 8$ . SO from this we can conclude that the weekly allowance is $8

To reduce 16 ounces of a 25% solution of antiseptic to a 10% solution, how much distilled water should a nurse add?

yan [13]

Answer:

24 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a more intuitive approach to use here.

You know that your initial solution has a percent concentration, presumably volume by volume, of

. This means that any volume of this solution contains

part solute and

parts solvent.

The target solution must have a concentration of

, which means that any volume of this solution will contain

part of solute and

parts solvent.

Your starting solution has a volume of

ounces, or

parts, each with a volume of

ounces.

In order to get to a solution that has a total of

parts, you must add

parts of solvent to the initial solution. Since we know that

1 part

4 ounces

it follows that you must add

parts

⋅

4 ounces

part solvent

24 ounces

of distilled water, which is your solvent, to the initial solution.

The target solution will contain

part solute and

parts distilled water for a total of

parts of solution, and hence have a percent concentration of

polet [3.4K]

The correct answer would be 1.25 inspections an hour because you just need to divide 10 by 8 and you should get 1.25. Hope this helps.

Which function does this graph represent: y=x-4;<br> y=-x+4;y=4x-1;y=-4x+1

allochka39001 [22]

The graph represents y=-4x-1

If you notice the line, it goes past the -1 on the y axis which indicates that the y intercept is -1 since that was the only choice which displayed this, we know that our answer is y=-4x-1
