The length of the railroad is 1km and it expands 10cm. To solve this problem, you have to create a right triangle. You can do this by cutting everything in half. Your hypotenuse will be 1/2km + 5cm, one of the legs will be 1/2km. To make everything simple, I converted everything into meters. So you will have 500m + .05m as the hypotenuse and 500m as one of the legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the other leg. Do not round your answer. My teacher emailed me a hint to answering the question. She cahnged everything to meters.

use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the other leg. that is your answer. Your teacher spelled it out for you.

A bag of potatoes weights 30 lb. If 74% of a potato is water, how many pounds of water are there in the bag?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the total weight of the bag by the water percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

30 x (74/100) = 30 x 0.74 =22.2 pounds

There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Find the slope of 9x=3y+5
qaws [65]
<u>9x</u> = <u>3y + 5</u>
 9         9
x = 1/3y + 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y + 5/9 - 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y
3(x - 5/9) = 1/3y · 3
3x - 1 2/3 = y
y = 3x - 1 2/3

A survey showed that 4 out of 5 students own a bicycle. Based on this result, how many of the 800 students in a school own a bic
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

640 students own a bicycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate shows that 4 out of 5 students own a bicycle. 4 out of 5 is 80% of the students. Now, we need to find 80% of 800 students.

To do this, we multiply the number of students by .80, which represents 80%.

800 x 0.8 = 640

I Hope That This Helps! :)

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased,  hence:

x + y + z = 47    (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302     (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0    (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats
