The answer is 35 pounds because 56 divided by 8 equals 7. That means that one chair equals 7 ponds. To figure out how much 5 chairs weigh you would have to multiply 7by 5 and get 35 pounds. Hope this helped :)

The sum of interior angles in a triangle are 180 degrees. Angle B and C are congruent. Angle B is twenty less than angle A. Writ

Margarita [4]

Answer:

A = 73.33

B = 53.33

C = 53.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, adding the 3 angles would equal 180

Thus;

A + B + C = 180 •••••(i)

Since B and C are congruent, that means they are equal ( we are looking at isosceles triangle)

B = C •••••••••(ii)

Lastly;

B = A -20 ••••••••(iii)

Make a substitution in equation 1;

A + A -20 + A -20 = 180

Since B = C ; C also is A-20

3A -40 = 180

3A = 220

A = 220/3 = 73.33

B = C = A -20 = 73.33 -20 = 53.33

How many seconds will light leaving Los Angeles take to reach the following locations (a) San Francisco (about 500km), (b) Londo

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

c) It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

d) It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can solve this problem by using this following formula:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

In which s is the speed(in km/s), d is the distance(in km) and t is the time(in s).

The light speed is 299 792 458 m / s = 299,792.458 km/s, so $s = 299,792.458$

(a) San Francisco (about 500km)

Find t when $d = 500$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{500}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 500$

$t = \frac{500}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.0017s$

It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) London(about 10,000km)

Find t when $d = 10,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{10,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 10,000$

$t = \frac{10,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.033s$

It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

(c) the Moon (400,000km)

Find t when $d = 400,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{400,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 400,000$

$t = \frac{400,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 1.334s$

It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

(d) Venus (0.3 A.U. from Earth at its closest approach).

Each A.U. has 149,59,7871 km.

So 0.3 A.U. = 0.3*(149,597,871) = 44,879,361.3. This means that $d = 44,879,361.3$ . So:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{44,879,361.3}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 44,879,361.3$

$t = \frac{44,879,361.3}{299,792.458}$

$t = 149.7s$

It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

A person earns 23,000 one year and gets a 5% raise in salary. Calculate the new yearly salary using a percent greater than 100

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

24,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Salary earned this year = 23,000

Percentage Raise in salary for the new year = 5%

The new yearly salary can be obtained thus ;

(100% + percentage raise in salary) * salary earned this year

(100% + 5%) * 23,000

105% * 23000

1.05 * 23000

24,150

Explain how to use what you know about whole number division to check your work when you divide with fractions.

serious [3.7K]

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. A fraction can be a proper fraction, an improper fraction, or a mixed fraction.

<h3>What is a Fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

A fraction consists of two whole numbers, a number that is above the fraction line which is the Dividend, while the number that is below the fraction line is known as the denominator and is the divisor. The result or the answer which we get when we solve the fraction is the factor or can be said, it is the quotient of the operation.

Suppose there is a fraction, a/b which is equal to c, then,

a is the dividend, b is the divisor, and c is the quotient.
