Answer:

Perimeter of larger triangle is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of smaller circle = 16

Ratio of corresponding side = 2:5

We need to find the perimeter of the larger triangle.

Solution:

Let the perimeter of the larger triangle be 'x'.

Therefore by theorem which states that;

" When a triangle have scale factor a:b then the ratio of the perimeters is a:b".

Here Ratio is 2:5, so we can say by theorem, Ratio of perimeters is 2:5

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{\textrm{Perimeter of smaller triangle}}{\textrm{Perimeter of Larger triangle}}=\frac{2}{5}

Substituting the values we get;

\frac{16}{x}=\frac{2}{5}

By Cross multiplication we get;

16\times 5=2x\\\\80=2x

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

\frac{80}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\\\x=40

Hence Perimeter of larger triangle is 40.

Charli bought 2 3/4 pounds of pears for 0.76 per pound and 2 3/4 pounds of grapes for 1.40 per pound. how much money in dollars
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Total = \$5.94 ---- in dollars

Total = 594\ cents ---- in cents

5 dollars 94 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pears

Weight = 2\frac{3}{4}\ lb

Amount = \$0.76 per pound

Grapes

Weight = 2\frac{3}{4}\ lb

Amount = \$1.40 per pound

Required

Determine the amount paid for the fruit in dollar and cents

First, we need to calculate the amount paid for each fruit.

This is calculated by multiplying the amount per pound by the number of pounds bought.

For Pears:

Total_{Pears} = 2\frac{3}{4} * \$0.76

Convert fraction to decimal

Total_{Pears} = 2.75 * \$0.76

Total_{Pears} = \$2.09

For Grapes

Total_{Grapes} = 2\frac{3}{4} * \$1.40

Convert fraction to decimal

Total_{Grapes} = 2.75 * \$1.40

Total_{Grapes} = \$3.85

Next, we add both amounts together to get the total amount spent in dollars.

Total = Total_{Pears} + Total_{Grapes}

Total = \$2.09 + \$3.85

Total = \$5.94

Multiply by 100 to convert this amount to cents

Total = 5.94 * 100\ cents

Total = 594\ cents

And it can be represented as dollars and cents as:

5 dollars 94 cents
