To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 120 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 120, so we can write it down as 100%=120.
4. We know, that x% equals 371 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=371.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=120
2) x%=371
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=120/371
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 371 is what percent of 120

100%/x%=120/371
(100/x)*x=(120/371)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.323450134771*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.323450134771) to get x
100/0.323450134771=x
309.166666667=x
x=309.166666667

now we have:
371 is 309.166666667% of 120

How to I find this? I tried using Pythagorean theorem, but it didn't work
jarptica [38.1K]
The Pythagorean theorem works.

12^2+9^2=c^2
144+81=c^2
225=c^2
15=c

Therefore the perimeter is 12 + 9 + 15 = 36 in. (B)

Venita is factoring the expression 32ab-8b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8b(4a-0). Which best de
Nimfa-mama [501]
Let's go through the steps of factoring that Venita should take.

1.) Find the greatest common factor (GCF). We only have two terms, so that makes it pretty easy.
32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
The greatest common factor of 32 and 8 is 8. We can also factor out a <em>b</em> since that term appears in each part of the original expression. The GCF and variable should go on the outside of the parentheses.
8b(       )

2.) Now let's figure out what should go in the middle of the parentheses. To do this, use the original expression and divide each term. This is written in the parentheses. 

32ab ÷ 8b = 4a
8b ÷ 8b = 1

This would then result in the factored expression 8b(4a - 1). You can always check this by using the distributive property. Distribute 8b out to both expressions:
8b x 4a = 32ab
8b x 1 = 8b
32ab - 8b is the expression she started with, so your factored expression works!

Now that we went through the steps to solve the factored expression, let's check her answer. The only difference between Venita's and ours is that she has 0 as the second term while we have a 1. It seems that she had subtracted the GCF from the second term instead of dividing.

Find the missing angles
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

b + 115° + 31° = 180°

b + 146° = 180

b = 180° - 146°

b = 34°

Jill's mother limited her xbox 1 playing to 10 hours per week. she played on only four days, a different amount of time each day
Brrunno [24]
You have to find out how much time she played on Saturday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Let's look at the facts.
Sunday: No info is given.
Friday: She played the least of all four days
Saturday: Twice as much as Wednesday
Wednesday: No info is given.

We can write a problem and solve from this information. Let's use the variable W for Wednesday. Saturday is 2W. So whatever number Wednesday has, multiply it by 2. All of the total numbers should equal 10.

Since Friday was played the least amount, we know that every other day has to be at least 2 hours or above, so that Friday can be 1 hour. Sunday we have no info given.

This is a bit of guess and see for this problem. Let's say that Friday was 1 hour, Wednesday was 2, Sunday was 3, and Saturday was 4. Total that equals 10. Let's check to varify that these numbers are correct.

Friday was the least amount of hours of any day, which is why it is 1.
Wednesday had 2 hours, and Saturday had twice that many, which is 4.
Sunday has 3 hours.

In short, your answer would be: Friday 1 hour, Wednesday 2 hours, Sunday 3 hours, and Saturday 4 hours. I hope I explained it wel
