108 identical books have a mass of 30 kg. Find

Mathematics
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

The number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books

Step-by-step explanation:

(I) Number of identical books = 108

Mass of  books = 30 kg

Mass of 150 books = ?

Let the mass of 150 books = x kg

To find the mass of 150 books we will use ratio and proportion:

108 books: 30kg = 150 books: x kg

You can also write it like this because ratio can be written in division:

108/30 = 150/x

By cross multiplication:

108x = 150*30

108 x= 4500

Divide both sides by 108

108 x/108 = 4500/108

x= 41.7

Thus the mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

( ii ) The number of books that have a mass of 20 kg = ?

Let assume that the number of books of mass 20 kg = y books

We will again use ratio and proportion method.

108 books: 30kg = y: 20kg

We can write it as:

108/30 = y/20

By cross multiplication:

108 *20 = 30y

2160= 30y

Divide both the terms by 30

2160/30 = 30y/30

72 = y

Therefore the number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books ....

Let PQR be a triangle such that angle P = angle Q + angle R. Among all three exterior angles of triangle PQR, what is the smalle
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The smaller exterior angle is the exterior angle in the vertex P, and it measures 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle needs to be 180 degrees, so we have two equations:

mP = mQ + mR

mP + mQ + mR = 180\°

Substituting mQ + mR by mP in the second equation, we have:

mP + mP = 180\°

mP = 90\°

The other two angles need to be lesser than mP, and the exterior angle is the supplement of the internal angle, so the bigger the internal angle, the smaller the exterior angle.

So if the bigger internal angle in this triangle is mP, the smaller exterior angle is also the angle in the vertex P:

exteriorP = 180\° - mP

exteriorP = 90\°

Use the expression, y3 + 4z – 16 to answer the question.
svetlana [45]
Y3 = y x 3 = 4 x 3 = 12
4z = 4 x z = 4 x 6 = 24

12 + 24 - 16

Im using PEMDAS I’m not sure if you use another order of operations if you do just do the expression your way

12 + 24 = 36
36 - 16 = 20

I am confused with this question. Can you help me?

In point-slope form, the equation of the line is
.. y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . for slope m and point (h, k)

You have m = -7/2 and (h, k) = (8, -28), so the point-slope equation is
.. y -(-28) = (-7/2)*(x -8)
.. y +28 = (-7/2)x +28 . . . . simplify
.. y = (-7/2)x . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 28
To put this into standard form, we can multiply by 2, then add 7x.
.. 2y = -7x
.. 7x +2y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . the standard form equation you want
