40/100= 56/x 40x=100(56) 40x=5600 Divide both sides by 40 to get x alone. X=140

40/100 = 56/x
0.4 = 56/x
x = 56/0.4 = 140

Therefore the original number is 140.

The ratio of the side lengths of a quadrilateral is 3:3:5:8, and the perimeter is 380cm. What is the measure of the longest side
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The second option (160 cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can obtain the perimeter of a quadrilateral by adding the lenghts of the sides.

2. You know that the ratio of the side lengths is 3:3:5:8 and the perimeter is 380 centimeters.

3. Therefore, you can write the following expression, where x is an integer:

3x+3x+5x+8x=380

4. Solve for x:

3x+3x+5x+8x=380\\19x=380\\x=\frac{380}{19}\\x=20

5. Therefore, the longest side is:

8x=8*20=160 (160 cm)

Can anyone fill these out?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Part (a)

36

Part (b)

Find the filled table in the attachment

Part (c)

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of possible outcomes using the multiplicative rule is given by;

6*6 = 36.

There are 6 possible outcomes in rolling each die, we simply find the product.

The probability of rolling double sixes is given by;

pr(6 and 6) = pr(6) * pr(6) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

The probability of rolling double sixes represents independent events and thus we employ the multiplicative rule of probability.

you are the sales manager for solar panel company. you receive a commission based on the total sales of all the salespeople you
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The total commission is $8905

Step-by-step explanation:

The commission on first $80000 = 2%

The commission on next $80000 = 4%

The commission on the sales of more than $160000 = 5%

Now we have to calculate the total commission on the amount of $242100. Let divide the amount in three parts, $80000 + $80000 + $82100 = 242100

Now total commission = $80000×2% + $80000 ×4% + $82100×5%

Total commission = $8905

Prove the divisibility of the following numbers:
ratelena [41]

Make use of prime factorizations:

16^5+2^{15}=(2^4)^5+2^{15}=2^{20}+2^{15}

Both terms have a common factor of 2^{15}:

16^5+2^{15}=2^{15}\left(2^5+1\right)=2^{15}\cdot33

- - -

The second one is not true! We can write

15^7+5^{13}=(3\cdot5)^7+5^{13}=3^7\cdot5^7+5^{13}

Both terms have a common factor of 5^7:

15^7+5^{13}=5^7\left(3^7+5^6\right)

Since 30=5\cdot6, and 5\mid5^7, we'd still have to show that 5^6(3^7+5^6) is a multiple of 6. This is impossible, because 6=3\cdot2 and there is no multiple of 2 that can be factored out.
