Joshua's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Joshua fell asleep 35% of the way through the trip. If the total length of t

he trip was 400 miles, how many miles had they travelled when Joshua fell asleep?

You need to calculate 35% of 400.

The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.

First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.

So 10% = 40

You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.

So 30% = 120

5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.

So 5% = 20

30% + 5% = 35%

120 + 20 = 140

So they had traveled 140 miles when Joshua fell asleep. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

(i) (x+3)(x-4)=0

x+3= 0 ⇒ x= -3
x-4= 0⇒ x= 4

(ii) (2x-3)(x-1) =0

2x-3= 0 ⇒ 2x=3 ⇒ x= 3/2
x- 1= 0 ⇒ x= 1

Answer : The value of x and y is, $90^o$ and $43^oC$

Step-by-step explanation :

First we have to calculate the angle B.

As we know that,

The given triangle is an isosceles triangle in which the angles opposite to equal sides are always equal.

Thus, $\angle B=\angle C$

Given : $\angle C=47^o$

$\angle B=\angle C=47^o$

$\angle B=47^o$

Now have to calculate the angle A.

As we know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is equal to $180^o$ .

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^o$

$\angle A+47^o+47^o=180^o$

$\angle A+94^o=180^o$

$\angle A=180^o-94^o$

$\angle A=86^o$

Now we have to determine the angle y.

As we know that, line AD is an angle bisector. That means, it divides into two equal angles. So,

$\angle y=\frac{\angle A}{2}$

$\angle y=\frac{86^o}{2}$

$\angle y=43^o$

Now we have to determine the angle x.

As we know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is equal to $180^o$ .

$\angle y+\angle B+\angle x=180^o$

$43^oc+47^o+\angle x=180^o$

$\angle x+90^o=180^o$

$\angle x=180^o-90^o$

$\angle x=90^o$

Thus, the value of x and y is, $90^o$ and $43^oC$

Fred is playing tennis. For every 2 of his serves that land in, 4 serves land out. If he hit 28 serves in, how many serves lande

bija089 [108]

2 for every 4 = 1 for every two, so 28 multiplied by two. Your answer is 56.
