In 1945, the federal minimum wage was $0.40/h. In 2015, the federal minimum wage is $7.25/h. What is the percent increase?

1 answer:

3 0

You need to know the difference in change between .40 and 7.25, which is 6.85, then you divide the change in price by the original amount, so you do 6.85/.40, which is 17.125, then multiply by 100 to get percent and you get 1712.5% increase.

The areas of two similar triangles are 75m2 and 300m2. The length of one of the sides of the second triangles is 9m. What is the

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

4.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of two similar triangles are 75 m2 and 300 m2. This gives you the scale factor of the triangles:

$\dfrac{A_{small}}{A_{large}}=k^2\Rightarrow k^2 =\dfrac{75}{300}=\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Then you can find the length of the corresponding side:

$\dfrac{side_{small}}{side_{large}}=k\Rightarrow =\dfrac{side_{small}}{9}=\dfrac{1}{2},\ side_{small}=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5\ m.$
