Answer:

\frac{4cm}{1year}*\frac{10mm}{1cm}*\frac{1year}{365days}

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we are doing unit conversions, we have to remember to make the first ratio and then each successive ratio should be put <em>in such a way</em> that the top and bottom cancels out with each unit and whatever we want, remains.

A simple example would be if we were to just convert from cm to mm. Suppose we want to convert 5 centimeters to millimeters. We can write the ratios is 2 ways:

First:

5cm*\frac{10mm}{1cm}

Second:

5cm*\frac{1cm}{10mm}

The first one is correct since we want mm, mm should be on top and cm should be on bottom form cm and cm to get canceled.

Now, for our problem, we want mm on top and day on bottom. So, cm and year should cancel. Looking at the first choice, the conversion factors are correct & skimming through, we see that

cm and cm cancels (top and bottom), also year and year cancels (top and bottom), it will leave us with mm on top and days on bottom, <em>which is what we want</em>.

First answer choice is right.

Tony is trying to find the solution of the system 2x - 4y +12 using elimination 3x + 4y = 48 He wrote these steps to solve the p
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Solution: (12, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = 12

3x + 4y = 48

Add both equations

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5

x = 12

We can use the value of x to find y

3x + 4y = 48

3 (12) + 4y = 48

36 + 4y = 48

Subtract 36 from both sides

4y = 12

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3

Solution: (12, 3)

Scott bought a pen and received change of $4.75 in 25 coins, all dimes and quarters. How many of each kind did he receive?
dangina [55]

Answer:

He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes = $0.10

Quarters = $0.25

Variable x = dimes

Variable y = quarters

Create a pair of linear equations:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75

x + y = 25

Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y

Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:

0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75

Use the distributive property:

2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75

Combine like terms:

2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75

Isolate variable y:

0.15y = 2.25

y = 15

Plug in the value of y into any equation:

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

Isolate variable x:

x = 10

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions to follow.<br><br> Find a, b and c
Feliz [49]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Using trigonometric ratio, find b:

Reference angle = 45

opposite = 8

Hypotenuse = b

Thus,

Sin(45) = 8/b

b = 8/sin(45)

b = 8/(1/√2) (sin 45 = 1/√2)

b = 8 × √2/1

b = 8√2

✔️Find a using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = 60°

Hypotenuse = b = 8√2

Adjacent = a

Therefore,

Cos(60) = a/8√2

8√2*cos(60) = a

8√2*½ = a

4√2 = a

a = 4√2

✔️Find c using Pythagorean Theorem:

c² = b² - a²

c² = (8√2)² - (4√2)²

c² = 128 - 32

c² = 96

c = √96

c = √(16*6)

c = 4√6
