Answer:

  4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving time is ...

  time = distance/speed

Then the ratio of times is ...

  6/20 : 6/30 : 6/40

  = 3/10 : 1/5 : 3/20

If we multiply by 20, we can get integer ratios:

  = 6 : 4 : 3

The middle ratio number represents the time spent at 30 mph, and the total of all ratio numbers represents the total driving time. Then the fraction spent at 30 mph is ...

  4/(6+4+3) = 4/13

_____

Total driving time was 13/20 hours, or 39 minutes. Of that time, 12 minutes was spent driving at 30 mph.

The polygons are similar. Find the missing side length.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides would be in proportion.

Therefore,

\frac{24}{32}  =  \frac{33}{?}  \\  \\  \\ ? =  \frac{32 \times 33}{24}  \\  \\ ? =  \frac{4\times 33}{3} \\  \\ ? =  4\times 11 \\  \\  ? =  44 \: units

Write the point-slope equation of the line with the given properties. Solve the equation for y. M= -0.25, (12,7)
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

y = -0.25x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Here, y1 is 7, m is -0.25, and x1 is 12

When you plug these values in, you get y - 7 = -0.25 (x - 12)

Now we have to solve for y.

y - 7 = -0.25 (x - 12)

Distribute

y - 7 = -0.25x + 3

Add 7 to both sides

y = -0.25x + 10
