First you turn the % in to decimal .20
then you multiply .20 by 340=68.00
then you subtract 340.00-68.00=272.00
the final answer is 272.00 pages

272 pages since you multiply .8 with 340(or 340 and .2 and subtract it from 340)

The number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body. An 87-kg person contains 58 kg of wat

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

50 kg water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body.

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form $y=kx$ , where y varies directly with x and k is constant of variation.

We are told that an 87-kg person contains 58 kg of water. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$58=k\cdot 87$

Let us find the constant of variation as:

$\frac{58}{87}=\frac{k\cdot 87}{87}$

$\frac{29*2}{29*3}=k$

$\frac{2}{3}=k$

The equation $y=\frac{2}{3}x$ represents the relation between water (y) in a human body with respect to mass of the body (x).

To find the amount of water in a 75-kg person, we will substitute $x=75$ in our given equation and solve for y.

$y=\frac{2}{3}(75)$

$y=2(25)$

$y=50$

Therefore, there are 50 kg of water in a 75-kg person.

Scott and Harry went cycling every day. They increased the number of minutes of cycling every week as described below:

djyliett [7]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott cycled for 10 minutes in first week, 15 minutes in second week,20 minutes in third week and 25 minutes in the fourth week which maintains a consistency in the line as there is consistent slope when drawn on a graph.

On, the other hand, harry cycled for 10 minutes in first week, 20 minutes in second, 40 minutes in third and 80 minutes in fourth week in which there is no consistency in the timings according to the weeks. Therefore, only, scott's method is linear as the number of minutes increased by an equal factor every week.
