To check, we can solve how much sunscreen is in a family sized bottle first. We need to find what is 20% of 12. First, turn 20% into a decimal: 20%/100= 0.2. Now, multiply 0.2 by 12, which is 2.4. Then, you add this to 12 because it is 20% more. 12+2.4= 14.4. Multiply this by 4: 14.4*4=57.6. Since his number is close to 50, he is kinda correct, but a much more reasonable answer would be closer to 60. Hope this helped!

Points B, D, and Fare midpoints of the sides of angle ACE. EC = 39 and DF = 18. Find AC
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Line AC = 36

Step-by-step explanation: The first and most important clue is the fact that points B, D and F are midpoints of the triangle ACE. What this tells us is that point B divides line AC into two equal sides. Likewise points D and F. If point D divides line EC into two equal sides, then line ED equals

39/2 = 19.5

Also, triangle FED is similar to triangle AEC. Since ED is half of EC, and FE is half of AE. Therefore in triangles FED and AEC,

FD/ED = AC/EC

18/19.5 = AC/39

By cross multiplication we now have

(18 x 39)/19.5 = AC

702/19.5 = AC

36 = AC

Therefore line AC = 36

Taxi charges 2.95 for the first mile and 0.30 per 1/8 gary was charged 25.45 for this taxi ride. Not including the first mile ho
Arisa [49]

Using proportions, considering the cost of the taxi per mile, it is found that Gary traveled 9.375 miles, not including the first.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the company charges 2.95 for the first mile and $0.3 per each 1/8 mile next = $2.4 per mile. After the first mile, he was charged a total of $25.45 - $2.95 = $22.5. Hence the number of miles is given by:

22.5/2.4 = 9.375.
