X would be 7.2
xyz
decreasing by 1.6
There are many ways to solve number 5 as it is just an reduce/enlargement of equidistant fractions
The first method that came up to my mind is just dividing denominators.
For A) you can do 72 divided by 18 which would give you 4. Then you can divide the given numerator with the answer you got from dividing the denominators. This would be 8 divided by 4 which would give you two. This means that 2/18 is equal to 8/72. You can check by simplifying the fraction. Both 2/18 and 8/72 equal 9 when simplified, therefore correct.
You can use this method for b, either use a calculator because of the decimals or just remove the decimals and replace them later. Make sure when you use this method, you are always dividing the bigger number. So in B you would do 40.3 divided by 12.4
Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/2 gallon of gas * 144 miles)/ (6 gallons of gas)
(72 gallon of gas*miles) /(6 gallons of gas)
the answer is:
12 miles
Answer:
Yes, right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are the legs, or shorter sides, and c is the hypotenuse, or the longest side.
We have 3 side lengths: 6, 8 and 10
6 and 8 are the shorter legs, so they are a and b.
10 is the longest leg, so it is c
Substitute the values into the equation, and see if it is true.
6^2+8^2=10^2
Evaluate the exponents
36+64=100
100=100
Since this is a true statement, these sides can make a right triangle.
