3*60 = 180 minutes
80/180 = 0.44
1-0.44 = 0.56
it was a 56% decrease in commute time
This question seems to me to be an exercise in applying the rule for a difference of squares in order to rewrite the difference of two relatively large numbers as the "simpler" product of other integers.
Let
x-------> bags of <span>popcorn
</span>y-------> bags of hotdogs
we know that
2.50x+3y=200-------> equation 1
x=2y--------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
2.50*[2y]+3y=200--------> 5y+3y=200------> 8y=200-----> y=200/8
y=25
x=2y-----> x=2*25-----> x=50
the answer is
50 bags of popcorn
25 bags of hotdogs<span />
Answer:
In order to tell if these are congruent triangles we would need to know if angles Y and V were congruent, angles X and W are congruent or if segments XU and WU were congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Any of these would work because you can use two different methods to telling that these are congruent triangles.
The first method is called side-angle-side. In it you need two side lengths that are congruent with a congruent angle in the middle. Since we already know that the right angle in the middle is congruent, and we know YU and VU are congruent, we would just need to know the additional side to prove congruence.
The second method is called angle, angle side. In this we need to know that two angles in a row are congruent followed by a side. Since we know the middle angle is the same, knowing either other angles would give us this method as well.
