First we need to define our conditions. Since the angles are complimentary, the sum of the angles must be equal to 90 degrees.

let x = first angle
y = second angle

x + y = 90

from the second condition in the problem 

x + y =72 + x -y
solving for x

x= 54

therefore the shorter side is 90 - 54 = y

y = 36 degree, the shorter side

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

  • Son washed more
  • Remaining 9/28 of the laundry

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Make denominators common to see the difference in fractions:</u>

A 64-ounce container of sports juice costs $6.50. A 48-ounce container of the same juice costs $4.25. Which juice container is t
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the juice container that is the better buy, you have to find the one that has a lower cost per ounce by dividing the price of each juice container by the number of ounces it has:

64-ounce container: 6.50/64=0.10

48-ounce container: 4.25/48=0.08

According to this, the answer is that the juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.

A driver driving a business trip of 240 miles would have reached his destination if he'd been able to drive 12 mph faster than h
mariarad [96]

The average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour

The total distance covered by the driver = 240 miles

The rate at which he traveled = 12 miles per hour

Therefore, the time he used to cover his distance

= 240/12

= 20 hrs

But average speed = distance/ time

= 240/ 20

= 12 miles/ hour

Therefore, the average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour
