8        x

then cross multiply and divide

8 times 100 =800 divided by 6 = 133

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

9.6 ounces of butter, 8 ounces of sugar, 12 ounces of flour, 4 eggs

Explanation: 20 / 16 = 4/5. 16 is four-fifths of 20. So multiply 4/5 with everything.

12 * 4/5 = 9.6 ounces

10 * 4/5 = 8 ounces

15 * 4/5 =  12 ounces

5 * 4/5 = 4 eggs

Vesna [10]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                         =        (500 miles)      /    (6.7 hours)

                         =            (500 / 6.7)  (mile/hour)

                         =                    74.63 miles per hour.

I imagine there were quite a number of pit stops included in that.

This is faster than I expected when I first read your question.
That's really gettin' with it for cars in 1911 !

Please help me . Find x.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

12) 5.96 ; 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

12). x and 5 are legs, so

opposite leg/adjacent leg = tangent 40°

5/x= tan40°,    5= x*tan40°, x= 5/tan40° ≈ 5.96

13). 15 is opposite leg

24 is hypotenuse

opposite leg/hypotenuse = sin(x)

sin(x) = 15/24

x = arcsin(15/24) ≈ 38.68°
