A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded?a) 5/6
b) 1/5
c) 1/6
d) 1/7
e) 1/24

Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The satellite has 30 modular units.

There are equal numbers of non-upgraded sensors in each unit.

Let us assume that on the entire satellite there are x numbers of upgraded sensors.

Then as per the given condition, there are \frac{x}{5} number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Therefore, the number of non-upgraded sensors on the entire satellite is \frac{30x}{5} =6x

Hence, total number of sensors in the satellite is (x+ 6x) =7x

Therefore, the required fraction of the upgraded sensors is \frac{x}{7x} =\frac{1}{7}. (Answer)

What is the length of AC?<br><br><br> 3 ft<br><br> 4 ft<br><br> 9 ft<br><br> 18 ft
iragen [17]

Answer: The length of AC is 18 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the given diagram,

AM = MB and CN = NB

M and N are the mid points of the sides AB and CB respectively,

Thus, by the mid point theorem,

MN ║ AC,

By the alternative interior angle theorem,

∠BMN ≅ ∠BAC

∠BNM ≅ ∠BCA

Thus, by AA similarity postulate,

ΔBMN ≅ ΔBAC

By the property of similar triangles,

\frac{BM}{BA}=\frac{MN}{AC}

\frac{BM}{BM+MA}=\frac{MN}{AC}

\frac{4}{4+4}=\frac{9}{AC}

\frac{4}{8}=\frac{9}{AC}

4AC=72\implies AC = 18\text{ ft}

Thus, The length of AC is 18 ft.

Find the distance between (5, -2) and (7, -2)
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The distance is (2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number is on the X axis. You move forward two places to get 7. The second number is on the Y axis, and you don't need to move anything so it stays the same. Hence the answer is a distance of two on the X axis.
