Sonia has 4.05 pounds of hamburger meat. She forms hamburgers that weigh 0.25 pounds each. What is the greatest number of 0.25-p
Sphinxa [80]
16 (i believe so)

4.05 divided by 0.25 is 16.2- but you must round to the nearest tenth- you cant make a 0.2 hamburger

PLEASE HELP simple geometry problem
vlabodo [156]

Perimeter is adding the 3 sides together. Since both triangles have the same perimeter set both triangles to equal:


(x+3 + x+3 + x+3) = (x+3 + 2x-3 + x)

Simplify each side:

3x+9 = 4x

Subtract 3x from each side:

x=9

Linda deposits $90,000 into an account that pays 6% interest per year, compounded annually.
Allisa [31]

Answer: Linda earns more interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda: 90000 x 1.06^3 -90000 = 17191.44

Bob: (90000 x 1.06 - 90000) x 3 = 16200

17191.44 > 16200

The figure for the other questions

I can't really measure the angles. I can tell you what they look like they'd be. There are three reasons why not. 
1. The paper is slightly bulged where your hand is
2. The circle is slightly distorted by the camera. This  is not that critical. 
3. It is very hard to measure on a computer screen.
There is nothing you could do to make it any better. In fact, given what you had to do, this is a pretty good representation. 

The Three angles -- Question 22
Using the crudest tools you could imagine, I measured the angle where you have written two 90s between the arms as 132°. That angle opens towards the bottom of the page.

The angle that you have called 95 degrees is actually pretty close. I think you read the upper set of numbers on the protractor when you should have been reading the lower set. I make it 89, but I'll bet it is intended to be 90 degrees. 

The third angle on your right is the same as the first one. It comes in at about 132° using my tools again. 

Question 23
I can help you with this. When you are asked to make an equation, you have to use an equal sign somewhere. 

The sum of the three angles should be 360° I'm going to create an error term because I'm almost sure what I measured won't make 360. All circles when you make angles from any point inside them should make angles that add up to 360° when measured with a protractor if the rays of the angles all start from the same point. [If you don't know what a ray is, call it "the arms of the angles"].

So let's create the equation.
Angle1 + angle2 + angle3 + E = 360°
Angle1 = 89° 
Angle2 = 132°
Angle3 = 132°
E is the error that represents the amount away from 360. Your teacher doesn't expect you to get this or to set it into your equation. The main thing you were supposed to do is add up the angles as you tried to do and state what your total was. This is what was expected.
Total = angle1 + angle2 + angle3
Total = 89 + 132 + 132 = 353. My error is 7° too little. So in my equation E = 7°

What to do
Somebody had to mark this with that green felt. You have a teacher. Go to the teacher and ask to be shown how to read the protractor if that person knows. You just need a bit of help. If the teacher cannot tell you, go to someone in your class who knows about that sort of thing and ask them. You're pretty close to getting it.
