Malcolm is filling bags with rice. He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each
Sliva [168]

Basically we want to know how many times 5/8 goes into 5 1/4.

5 1/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 × 8/5 = 42/5 = 8.4 bags

Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, he can fill 8 bags completely.

answer: 8 bags

2 planes leave the airport at the same time. their speeds are 140 mph and 170 mph and the angle between their courses is 25 degr
Damm [24]

Answer:

183.27miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we are considering two planes.

Plane 1

Speed = 140 mph

Time = 2.5 hours

Distance = ?

Speed = distance/time

140 mph = distance/2.5hrs

Distance = 140×2.5

= 350miles

Plane 2

Speed = 170 mph

Time = 2.5 hours

Distance = ?

Speed = distance/time

170 mph = distance/2.5hrs

Distance = 170×2.5

= 425miles

The angle between side is 25 degree

From cosine rule

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2abcos(tetha)

Where a = 350

b = 425miles

c^2 = 350^2+425^2-2(350×425)(cos25)

c^2 = 122500+180625-297500(0.906)

c^2 = 303125-269535

c^2 = 33590

C = √33590

C = 183.27miles

The distance they flew apart after 2.5hrs is 183.27miles

Please help me with this !!!
liraira [26]

Answer:

\fbox {P = 6.76 cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding the missing angle</u> :

  • 22° + ∠R + 72° = 180°
  • ∠R = 180° - 94°
  • ∠R = 86°

<u>Applying the Law of Sines</u> :

\boxed {\frac{sin P}{P} = \frac{sin R}{PQ}}

<u>Substituting the known values</u> :

  • sin 22° / P = sin 86° / 18
  • P = sin 22° × 18 / sin 86°
  • P = 0.374606593 × 18 / 0.99756405
  • P = 6.76 cm
