Answer:

  4 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Before Luke started eating, there were 8. This is 2/3 of what Sara had to start with, so she started with 12. That is 3/4 of what Mike started with, so he started with 16.

Jill left 4/5 of what she started with, so she must have started with 20. Jake ate 1/6 and left 5/6, so 20 is 5 times the number Jake ate.

Jake ate 4 chocolates.

___

Jill ate 4; Mike ate 4; Sara ate 4; and Luke ate 4.

HELPPP circle theorems
Serggg [28]

Answer:

56 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the measure of < g.

The triangle formed by the 2 tangents and the chord is isosceles, because 2 tangents from a point  outside a circle are of equal length (by the Two Tangents theorem).

Also one of the base angles are equal to 62 degrees ( by The Tangent Chord theorem). In fact both base angles are 62 degrees because the triangles an isosceles.

So measure of angle g = 180 - 2(62)

= 56 degrees.

Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric. She cuts it into 5 equal pieces. How long is each new piece of fabric?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric.

She cuts it into 5 equal pieces.

We need to find the length of each new piece of fabric. It is equal to the total length divided by the total number of pieces. So,

l=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}

So, each new piece pf fabric is \dfrac{1}{20}\ \text{yards}.

Jason purchased 12 shirts for the members of a school club. Each shirt cost $5.50. Jason
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

52 dollars and 47 cents, or 52.47

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 12 and 5.50, then you should get 66.00. Then, take the 25% discount, and divide it by a hundred, you should get 0.25, now multiply 0.25 and 66.00. You should get 16.50, thats your discount, so subtract 16.50 from 66.00, you should get 49.50. Now for the sales tax, divide 6.0 by 100, you should get 0.06. Now multiply 0.06 and 49.50, you should get 2.97, thats your tax, add it to 49.50, and you get 52.47 so BOOM, thats your answer, your welcome

What line is parallel to 2x+5y=6 that goes through (5,3)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4y = x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, in the equation given : 2x + 5y = 6 , make y the subject of the formula which will give y = \frac{-2x}{5} + \frac{6}{5}  which make the gradient, m, the coefficient of x = \frac{-2}{5}  . Since the line we're looking for is parallel to the one we were given, their respective gradients would be the same. (If they were perpendicular, the gradient of the new line would be a negative inverse of the given line)

Then you proceed to use the one-point formula : y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where   y₀ = 3 and x₀ = 5 from the point it goes through (5, 3)

y - 3 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 5); y - 3 = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4};  y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4} +3

y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{17}{4};  y = \frac{x-17}{4}  ;   4y = x - 17
