There are 17 action movies because when we divide 20 by 100 the answer we get which is 0.2 is the amount of movie for 1% so we then multiply 0.2 by 85 to get the amount of movie for 85% which is 17 action movies. I hope my explanation was clear.

In 1998, Cathy's age is equal to the sum of the four digits in the year of her birthday, then how old was Cathy in 1998?
ycow [4]

Answer:

<em>Cathy was born in 1980 and she was 18 years old in 1998</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

This is a special type of equations where all the unknowns must be integers and limited to a range [0,9] because they are the digits of a number.

Let's say Cathy was born in the year x formed by the ordered digits abcd. A number expressed by its digits can be calculated as

x=1000a+100b+10c+d

In 1998, Cathy's age was

1998-(1000a+100b+10c+d)

And it must be equal to the sum of the four digits

1998-(1000a+100b+10c+d)=a+b+c+d

Rearranging

1998=1001a+101b+11c+2d

We are sure a=1, b=9 because Cathy's age is limited to having been born in the same century and millennium. Thus

1998=1001+909+11c+2d

Operating

88=11c+2d

If now we try some values for c we notice there is only one possible valid combination, since c and d must be integers in the range [0,9]

c=8, d=0

Thus, Cathy was born in 1980 and she was 18 years old in 1998. Note that 1+9+8+0=18

Tammy learns in science class that water freezes when its temperature is
Oksanka [162]

The required number line that shows all of the possible

temperatures is option A.

<h3>Inequalities and number line</h3>

From the given question, we have that water freezes when its temperature is no more than 32 °F

The statement no more than 32 °F shows that the temperature cannot be greater than 32 but less than or equal to 32. This is written mathematically as;

t ≤ 32.

We are to select the number line that shows all of the possible temperatures. The required number line that shows all of the possible

temperatures is option A.

At a hot dog stand they serve regular hot dogs and footling hot dogs at a ratio of 5 to 3. Based on this ratio how many footlong
natta225 [31]
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is 5:3
So total ratio "parts" is 5 + 3 = 8
In total there are 120 dogs served, so each part is:
120/8 = 15 dogs
Since, footlong hot dogs are "3" parts, and each part is 15 dogs, there will be:

3 * 15 = 45 footlong hotdogs
