Answer:

72 Wrong, so find how many are right with 135 total

Step-by-step explanation:

It's similar to saying if she answered half and this continued how many would she have answered after answering a bigger number, you would say half.

so she answered 8/15 incorrectly a a smaller number, so she will answer that ratio with a bigger number.  If it helps 8/15 is about 53%. just like 1/2 is half.  So to find half you would multiply something by 1/2 and int he same way you multiply something by 8/15 to get that proportion of it.

so 135, if you take this 53%, or simply multiply it by 8/15 you get your answer of 72.  So 72 wrong so al others are right, which you get with 135-72 = 63.

You could also do 135*(1-8/15) = 135 * 7/15.  if you ever want to find something NOT part of the proportion you do 1 - that proportion.

Find the value of x<br> A.25<br> B.85<br> C.75<br> D.105
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the other angle that doesn't have a number in it.

To find the degrees of the other angle we subtract 155 from 180.

180 - 155 = 25

Now we have to find the value of x. Add 80 and 25 together to get 105. A triangle is going to be 180 degrees. Subtract 105 from 180.

180 - 105 = 75

Now we will add 80, 25, and 75 to check our work.

80+25+75 = 180

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is 74mm, correct to the nearest millimeter. Calculate the smallest possible p
Olin [163]

Answer:

  221 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension 74 mm is presumed to mean that the actual length could be anywhere in the interval [73.5, 74.5). So, the minimum perimeter is ...

  3 × 73.5 = 220.5 ≈ 221 . . . millimeters

_____

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 3 times the side length, since all three sides of the triangle are the same length.

A rectangle is 12m longer than it is wide. Its perimeter is 68m. Write and equation and show steps to find its length and width.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

  length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

  l + w = 34

  l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

  2l = 46

  l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

  w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.

You are building a dining room table for family dinners. The table has a length of 3x + 1 feet and a width of 3x - 1 feet. If th
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Length 7 feet and Width 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle ( a dining room table) is equal to

A=LW

where

L=(3x+1)\ ft

W=(3x-1)\ ft

A=35\ ft^2

substitute

35=(3x+1)(3x-1)

Apply difference of squares right side

35=9x^2-1

9x^2=36\\x^2=4\\x=\pm2

Remember that the length cannot be a negative number

so

x=2

<em>Find the length</em>

L=(3(2)+1)=7\ ft

<em>Find the width </em>

W=(3(2)-1)=5\ ft
