Answer:

Length of a cut that James needs to make along the median = 14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Median of the trapezoid is the line segment joining the midpoints of the non parallel sides.

The formula to find the length of the median of a trapezoid is:

\frac{1}{2} (a+b)

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.

So, the length of the median that James needs to make is:

\frac{1}{2} (12+16)

=\frac{1}{2} (28)

= 14 inches

Mrs. Jones bought 6 kilograms of rice. After filling 10 containers with the same
9966 [12]

There are 514 gram rice in each container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of rice = 6 kg

1 kg = 1000 g

6 kg = 6*1000 = 6000 g

Number of containers  = 10

Rice left = 860 g

Let,

x be the amount in each container.

Total amount of rice - Number of containers*Amount in each container = Amount of rice left

6000-10x=860\\6000-860=10x\\5140=10x\\10x=5140

Dividing both sides by 10

\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{5140}{10}\\x=514

There are 514 gram rice in each container.

A car and a truck left Washington, DC traveling in opposite directions. The car traveled 19 miles per hour faster than the truck
sertanlavr [38]
Truck speed be x
car travel at x+19
they travel in opposite directions
so the separation is (x+x+19) * no. of hours
1048 = (2x+19)*8
x = ((1048/8) - 19)/2
=56

truck speed is 56 miles per hour
car speed is 56+19 = 75 miles per hour
