Answer: There are 32 cards left to be signed

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the correct question is:

<em>The Smiths are sending out a batch of holiday cards. Emily signed 2/5 of the cards. Then Josh signed 1/9 of the remaining cards. Tatiana signed 20% of what Josh had left. If there were 75 cards in all, how many cards are left to be signed? </em>

So, to answer this question:

Emily signed 2/5: so, we have to multiply the number of cards (75) by the amount that she signed:

  • 75 x 2/5 = 30

Then, we subtract the result to the total amount of cards:

  • 75-30 =45 cards left to be signed

Repeating the process with Josh (now the total number of cards is 45)

  • 45x 1/9= 5
  • 45-5= 40

And finally we repeat the process with Tatiana ( using the decimal form of 20% ⇒ 20/100= 0.2)

  • 40x 0.2=8
  • 40-8 = 32 cards left to be signed

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cards

Given:

Emily = 2/5 of x

Josh, Tj = 1/9 × (1 - 2/5 × x)

Tatiana = 20/100 × (1 - Tj)

Therefore, x = 75

Emily signed = 2/5 × 75

= 30

Card left unsigned = 75 - 30

= 45

Josh signed = 1/9 × 45

= 5

Card left unsigned = 45 - 5

= 40

Tatiana signed = 1/5 × 40

= 8

Card left unsigned = 40 - 8

= 32

Cards not signed = 32

You can text 44 words in 1 minute. Write a proportion to help you find
Natalka [10]

Answer:

176 words

Step-by-step explanation:

1) well we want to find the amount of words we'd be able to type in 4 minutes. so, what i did was:

<u>44 words</u> = <u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

1 minutes = 4 minutes

2) now look at how i set up the proportion, notice how i left a variable of x for the value i didn't know.

3) we also know that 1 times 4 is 4, so it'd also make sense to also multiply the numerator by 4 too!!

4) multiplying 44 by 4 would get us our answer which is 176

im not the best at math but i this explanation helped <33

What happens to the energy not output by a machine​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

By using the energy conservation law, the input energy must be equivalent to the output energy.  If you measured output energy is lower than your input energy, you have lost that difference of energy either in mechanical inefficiency (friction, heat, etc.) or an energy sink.

Thus, the energy not output by the machine is lost in the process within the machine.

Cheers.
