bearing in mind that the perimeter of two similar figures are at a ratio, which is the same ratio is their sides.


\bf \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}\qquad \cfrac{perimeter}{perimeter}\implies \cfrac{24}{32}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\implies 3:4 \\\\\\ \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}\qquad \cfrac{side}{side}\qquad \cfrac{x}{6}=\cfrac{3}{4}\implies 4x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{4}\implies x=\cfrac{9}{2}

wheat = $0.96 lb rye = $1.89 lb

12w + 15r = 3987 15w + 10r = 3330 r = (3330 - 15w)/10 12w + 15r = 3987 12w + 15((3330 - 15w)/10) = 3987 12w + (15/10)(3330 - 15w) = 3987 12w + 4995 - 22.5w = 3987 10.5w = 1008 w = 96 cents r = 189 cents.

Jonah has a large collection of marbles he notices that if he borrows five marbles from a from a friend he can arrange the marbl
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The remainder is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jonah's Marble=x

If he arranges x marbles into y rows of 13 each, and there are remainders(R)

Then:

x/13=y+(R/13).....(I)

If he borrows 5 marbles from a friend, there will be no remainder. However, the number of rows y, will be increased by 1

New Total Marbles=x+5

(x+5)/13=y+1.....(ii)

x+5=13(y+1)

x=13y+13-5

x=13y+8

From (I)

x=13y+R

Comparing the values of x derived from (I) and (ii)

13y+R=13y+8

Therefore the Remainder, R= 8

faltersainse [42]

Answer with explanation:

It is given that, there is positive correlation between drinking coconut milk and eating potato chips.

→Correlation coefficient is denoted by r.

→The value of r lies between , -1 and 1 which is represented as , -1 ≤r≤1.

→Correlation that is relation between two variables is said to be strongly positive, if r is equal to 1, and it is said to be strongly weak, if it is equal to -1 , and said to have no association if r=0.

→ The meaning of positive correlation is that value of r, is greater than >0.8 but less than 1.

The two variables which are positively correlated ,can have following relationship.

1. With increase in one other increases.

2.With decrease in one other decreases.

3. Slope will be a linear that is a straight line not passing through origin.
