Three different terms here so you need to convert to one type only. Either fractions, decimal or percentage.
0.3= 30% = 3/10 mysteries
25% = 0.25 = 1/4 travel
7/20 = 35% = 0.35 childrens
Rearrange:
0.3 = 30% = 3/10
0.25 = 25% = 1/4
0.35 = 35% = 7/20
Answer is Children's is the greater at 35%

SOS if anyone could help that would be appreciated!!!❤️

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

$2e)15-4x=10x+45$

Solve:

$15-4x=10x+45\\-4x-10x=45-15\\-14x=30\\ \boxed {x=-\dfrac{15}{7}}$ $3(x+1)=21$

Check:

$15-4 \left(-\dfrac{15}{7} \right)=10\left(-\dfrac{15}{7} \right)+45$

$15+\dfrac{60}{7} \right)=-\dfrac{150}{7} +45$

$\dfrac{210}{7} =30$

$30=30$

$3a) 3(x+1)=21$

Solve:

$3(x+1)=21\\3x+3=21\\3x=18\\x=6$

$3b) 2+3(x+1)=6x$

$2+3x+3=6x\\5=3x\\$

$x=\dfrac{5}{3}$

$3c) -2(2x-3)=-2$

Solve:

$-2(2x-3)=-2\\-4x+6=-2\\-4x=-8\\x=2$

A baseball diamond is a square with side 90 ft. A batter hits the ball and runs toward first base with a speed of 31 ft/s. (a) A

julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) -13.9 ft/s

b) 13.9 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The rate of his distance from the second base when he is halfway to first base can be found by differentiating the following Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:

$D^{2} = (90 - x)^{2} + 90^{2}$ (1)

$\frac{d(D^{2})}{dt} = \frac{d(90 - x)^{2} + 90^{2})}{dt}$

$2D\frac{d(D)}{dt} = \frac{d((90 - x)^{2})}{dt}$

$D\frac{d(D)}{dt} = -(90 - x) \frac{dx}{dt}$ (2)

Since:

$D = \sqrt{(90 -x)^{2} + 90^{2}}$

When x = 45 (the batter is halfway to first base), D is:

$D = \sqrt{(90 - 45)^{2} + 90^{2}} = 100. 62$

Now, by introducing D = 100.62, x = 45 and dx/dt = 31 into equation (2) we have:

$100.62 \frac{d(D)}{dt} = -(90 - 45)*31$

$\frac{d(D)}{dt} = -\frac{(90 - 45)*31}{100.62} = -13.9 ft/s$

Hence, the rate of his distance from second base decreasing when he is halfway to first base is -13.9 ft/s.

b) The rate of his distance from third base increasing at the same moment is given by differentiating the folowing Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:

$D^{2} = 90^{2} + x^{2}$

$\frac{d(D^{2})}{dt} = \frac{d(90^{2} + x^{2})}{dt}$

$D\frac{dD}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt}$ (3)

We have that D is:

$D = \sqrt{x^{2} + 90^{2}} = \sqrt{(45)^{2} + 90^{2}} = 100.63$

By entering x = 45, dx/dt = 31 and D = 100.63 into equation (3) we have:

$\frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{45*31}{100.63} = 13.9 ft/s$

Therefore, the rate of the batter when he is from third base increasing at the same moment is 13.9 ft/s.

I hope it helps you!

Points M, N, and P are respectively the midpoints of sides AC , BC , and AB of △ABC. Prove that the area of △MNP is on fourth of

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The area of △MNP is one fourth of the area of △ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points M, N, and P are the midpoints of sides AC, BC and AB respectively. It means AC, BC and AB are median of the triangle ABC.

Median divides the area of a triangle in two equal parts.

Since the points M, N, and P are the midpoints of sides AC, BC and AB respectively, therefore MN, NP and MP are midsegments of the triangle.

Midsegments are the line segment which are connecting the midpoints of tro sides and parallel to third side. According to midpoint theorem the length of midsegment is half of length of third side.

Since MN, NP and MP are midsegments of the triangle, therefore the length of these sides are half of AB, AC and BC respectively. In triangle ABC and MNP corresponding side are proportional.

$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle NMP$

$MP\parallel BC$

$MP=\frac{BC}{2}$

By the property of similar triangles,

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{PM^2}{BC^2}$

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{(\frac{BC}{2})^2}{BC^2}$

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence proved.
