Answer: the school paid $80 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the school paid for the book.

Her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book. It means that the amount that the school would charge on a book that cost $x is

75/100 × x = 0.75 × x = 0.75x

Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book. It means that

0.75x = 60

x = 60/0.75

x = $80

10 pounds of soil are needed to
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

w = weight of soil needed

f = number of flower beds

a = constant value

w = a * f

<em>substitute</em>

10 = 6a

<em>simplify</em>

5/3 = a

w = (5/3)f

<em>plug in 8</em>

w = (5/3)(8)

<em>simplify</em>

w = 40/3

Consider two unique parallel lines. what aspects of these two lines are the same? what aspects of these two lines would have to
kramer

If you have edunuity, the answer is... Two parallel lines will have the same slope. The slopes of parallel lines have to be equal. The y-intercepts of those two lines have to be different, otherwise they would be the same line. The x-intercepts of the parallel lines would also be different.

Im working on ratios and proportions and missed some of it. Can anyone help?
Anna35 [415]
So for 1, the way to find one 'part' of the ratio, is to add up the ratio and divide the number from 180 (180 degrees in a triangle). So you would do 7 + 13 + 16 = 36. 180 divided by 36 = 5. Each part represents '5'. So to find the angles, you would do the coefficient multiplied by 5. Therefore, angle DEA is 13 * 5, which is 65 degrees, angle DFA is 16 * 5 = 80 degrees, and angle FDE is 7 * 5, which is 35. You know this is correct because 80 + 35 + 65 = 180 degrees.

For 2, you just have to set up a ratio. So we know that there are 320 cookies for 16 students, so the ratio would be set up as 320:16. So the cookie:student ratio, a.k.a, the number of cookies for each student is going to be the entire ratio divided by 16. We do this because there are 16 students, so to find the amount of cookies for 1 student, we do 16 / 16, which is 1. But of course, this affects the first part of the ratio too, so you do 320 divided by 16, which is 20. So the cookie:student ratio is 20:1. Every 1 student gets 20 cookies. 

For 3, you just have to set up another ratio. If he finds 2 clovers in the first 12 minutes, the clover:minute ratio will be 2:12, or 1:6. This means that for every 6 minutes spent searching, 1 clover will be found. If he spends a total of 180 minutes searching, we can predict the number of clovers he will find by doing a proportion calculation. 180 / 6 = 30. That means we have to multiply 1:6 by 30 to find the number of clovers he will find. We multiply by 30 because 6 * 30 is 180 minutes, and obviously, this will affect the first part of the ratio too. 1 * 30 = 30. So that means the ratio is now 30:180. He will find 30 clovers in 180 minutes.

I hope you get it by now, but if you don't let me know. I'll help you answer the rest of the questions :)
