Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people

Divide 500 by 15 that equals 33.33 then multiply that number by 12 and that equals 399.96 which is then rounded up to 400/500 people prefer eating out rather than cooking at home.

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of si
Inessa [10]

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that:

  • \sin{x} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6
  • \cos{y} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6
  • Since x and y are complementary angles, we have that sin(xº) = cos(yº).

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

The hypotenuse in this problem is given as follows:

h^2 = 6^2 + 8^2

h = \sqrt{100}

h = 10.

The sine of x is:

\sin{x} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

The cosine of y is:

\cos{y} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Since x and y are complementary angles, we have that sin(xº) = cos(yº).

How do you do this <br>.
mars1129 [50]
The slope of the line on the graph represents Pete's speed. That slope is 8 miles/hour.

Paul walks 2 miles in 0.4 hours, so walks at (2/0.4) miles/hour = 5 miles/hour.


a) Pete is moving at a greater rate.


b) At 8 miles per hour, it takes Pete (2 mi)/(8 mi/h) = 1/4 h = 15 minutes to get to school. If Pete leaves 5 minutes later than Paul, he will reach school 20 minutes after Paul starts, while Paul is still 4 minutes away from the school.

Yes, Pete will catch Paul before they get to school.

Cesar is getting balloons for his mother's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 12 feet long. At the party store s
sasho [114]

Answer:

<em>188 yards </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of one balloon = 12 feet

Since 1 foot = 1/3 yards

12 feet = x

Cross multiply

1 * x = 1/3 * 12

x = 12/3

x = 4 yards

Hence one balloon will be 4 yards long.

If one balloon = 4 yards long

47 balloons = y

Cross multiply;

1 * y = 4 * 47

<em>y = 188yards</em>

<em>Therefore Cesar will need 188 yards of string for 47 ballooons</em>

<em></em>
