Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

so

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

I need help with Geometry
ehidna [41]

Answer:

We conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the missing angle m∠R

Given the triangle Δ∠PQR

m∠P = 48°

m∠Q = 83°

m∠R = ?

We know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R = 180°

48°+83°+m∠R=180°

m∠R = 180° - 48° - 83°

m∠R = 49°

Thus, the value of m∠R = 49°

We know that the longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

Here,

m∠P = 48° is the shortest angle.

As the side QR segment is opposite the smallest angle i.e. m∠P = 48°

Therefore, we conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

Need Help with 44.. picture above
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Ok:

Step-by-step explanation:

I see that you set up 90 miles = 60 mph * t, where you found out that t = 1.5. What what you needed to do was set 180 miles = 45 mph * t. This is because it is 45 mph for the <em>whole</em> trip. Then, you find that t = 4 hours. That that means that he spent 2.5 hours driving back. Then, we can do d=vt and find 90/2.5 as the speed he went home at. Which comes out to be 36 mph.
