Answer:

$63

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent Charity B then Charity A = 5x

Sum the two and equate to 378, that is

x + 5x = 378

6x = 378 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 63

Thus Charity B received $63

leva [86]

This problem is a more like of a percentage increase problem. First, subtract 11 hours by the original hours which is 10 hours. Using mental math, subtracting 11 by 10 would be 1, obviously. Take the outcome of 1 and divide it by the hours he did last week which is 10. 1 divided by 10 would be equal to .1. Convert the decimal to a percentage and then you would get 10% and add it to 100%. So, yes, he is in fact correct.

The pentagon below has an area of 8.3 square centimeters and a side of 2.2. What is the approximate length of the apothem? A.0.4

nalin [4]

Answer:

C. 1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides.

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is

$A=\frac{1}{2}ap$

where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. The perimeter is found by multiplying the number of sides of the figure by the length of 1 of those sides:

5(2.2) = 11

Now we have everything we need to solve for the length of the apothem.

$8.3=\frac{1}{2}a(11)$

Begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction, so

16.6 = 11a Divide both sides by 11 to get

a = 1.5090909 or

C. 1.5 cm
