Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

Which glide reflection describes the mapping ABC DEF​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

1. Reflect ABC about the line AC and then translate 1 unit to the right.

2. Translate ABC 1 unit to the right and then reflect it about the line AC.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

ABC is transformed using glide reflection to map onto DEF.

Since, we know,

'Glide Reflection' is the transformation involving translation and reflection.

So, we can see that,

ABC can be mapped onto DEF by any of the following glide reflections:

1. Reflect ABC about the line AC and then translate 1 unit to the right.

2. Translate ABC 1 unit to the right and then reflect it about the line AC.

Hence, any of the two glide reflection will map ABC onto DEF.

Is 24 the correct LCD to use for subtracting 6 3/4 - 1 2/6 ? Why or why not?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

B

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3

32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

C

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

Which describes Myra's distance as time increases?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

(A)increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the time and total distance ran by Myra in the table below.

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}Time(minutes)&Distance(miles)\\--&--\\0&0.0\\2&0.4\\4&0.8\\6&1.2\\8&1.6\end{array}\right|

We observe that as time increases, Myra's distance also increases. It is the speed(0.2 miles per minute) which is constant.

Therefore Option A is the correct option.
