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.

Euler's formula is given by:
 C + V = A + 2
 Where,
 C: number of faces
 V: number of vertices
 A: number of edges.
 Clearing A we have:
 A = C + V-2
 Substituting values:
 A = 21 + 14-2
 A = 33
 Answer:
 
the missing number is:

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute.
Sphinxa [80]
In 1 minute, bison runs 3520 feet
In 60 minutes, the bison would run
3520*60 feet
211200 feet per hour.
These are equivalent to;
40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
The bison is faster by 10 miles per hour

Which of these equations is for a line perpendicular to y-3=5(x-2)?
olasank [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3=5(x-2)  (rearrange this to be in slope- intercept from) (add 3 to both sides)

y = 5(x-2) + 3   (distribute parentheses)

y = x(5) - 2(5) + 3

y = 5x -10 + 3

y = 5x - 7

recall that for a line with gradient m, the gradient of the perpendicular line will be - (1/m)

hence in our case, our gradient of the original line is 5, hence the gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/5

From the choices, the only one that is consistent with this is C

i.e choice C:

5y + x = 25

5y = -x + 25

y = -(1/5) x + 5   ===> gradient of -1/5
