m∠STP = 90°
The diagonals inside the square are perpendicular lines, meaning they form 90° angles
let L = length and let W = width.
Use the equations 2L + 2W = 2750
and L = 5W + 15
Then do the steps as follows -
1. Plug the equation for what L equals into the first equation
2(5W+15) + 2W = 2750
2. Then distribute the 2
10W + 30 + 2W = 2750
3. Then add like terms
12W + 30 = 2750
4. Then subtract 30 from both sides
12W = 2720
5. Divide by 12 on both sides
W = 226.67
6. Then plug that into the second equation
L = 5(226.67) + 15
L = 1148.35 should be the answer
Answer:
49 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the amount of candy and divide by the amount in a serving
2 3/4 ÷ 1/18
Change to an improper fraction
(4*2+3)/4 ÷ 1 /18
11/4 ÷ 1/18
Copy dot flip
11/4 * 18/1
198/4
49.5
Round down since people do not want half a serving

The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.
_____
Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
Answer:
49 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
By proportion 7/6 = M/42 where M is Michael's age.
6M = 7 * 42
M = (7*42) / 6
M = 7 *7
= 49.
