You start by cross multiplying:
9 x 8 = 72
This is considered the fraction on the left's value.
You do the same for the other side:
10 x 7 = 70
This is considered the value of the fraction 7/8
72 has a greater value than 70.
Therefore, 9/10 is larger.
Answer:
Slant height = 7.07 ft to nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slant height = height of one of the triangular sides
Using Pythagoras:
S^2 = 1/2 * 10^2 + 10^2 = 50 ft.
S = √50 = 7.071
The jet has gained on the small plane at the rate of 10 miles per minute, so is flying 600 miles per hour faster. (There are 60 minutes in an hour.)
Since the jet is flying twice as fast as the smaller plane, the small plane's speed is the same as the difference in speed: 600 mph.
The jet's speed is double that, 1200 mph.
- small plane: 600 mph
- jet: 1200 mph
Hourly rate:
39(1.3r) = 541.80
(hours times hourly rate equals profit)
then solve
1.3r = 13.89
r = 10.69
the hourly rate is $10.69
to answer the bottom question, 390 + 117 = 507, but that’s not close to 541.80 so I have no idea what they’re asking there
