Answer:
12√5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached sketch, there are 2 triangles which we need to focus on, triangle A (in yellow) and triangle B (In red).
If you look at triangle A, we notice that X is the hypotenuse of triangle A. This means that X must be the largest length in triangle A, hence we can say that x must be greater than 24 (or 24 < x)
Now look at triangle B, in this case, they hypotenuse is 30 and x is the length of one of the sides. This means that x must be shorter than the hypotenuse (i.e x < 30)
from the 2 paragraphs above, we can see now that we can assemble an inequality in x
24 < x < 30
If we look at the choices, we can immediately ignore 33 because x must be less than 30,
working out the choices, we find that the only choice which falls into the range 24<x<30 is the 2nd choice 12√5 (= 26.83) (which is the answer)
The last 2 choices give values smaller than 24 and are hence cannot be the answer
Answer:
3 soccer trophies does Joel have
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the statement:
Joel has 24 sports trophies.
⇒Total sport trophies Joel have= 24
It is also given: of the trophies, 1/8 are soccer trophies
We have to find how many soccer trophies does Joel have.
Simplify:
Therefore, 3 soccer trophies does Joel have
First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
It is 19 because of the Pythagorean theorem which states a squared plus b squared is c squared.
To check which of the quotients is correct, multiply 43 times 20 and add the remainder. The result must be equal to 876.
First, notice that 20 times 43 equals 860.
A)
The remainder is 17. 860 + 17 = 877, which is not equal to 876.
B)
The remainder is 16. 860 + 16 = 876, which is equal to 876.
C)
The remander is 7. 860 + 7 = 867, which is not equal to 876.
D)
The remainder is 6. 860 + 6 = 866, which is not equal to 876.
Since 20*43 + 16 = 876, then the correct quotient is shown in option B:
876 ÷ 43 = 20 r 16
