Answer:
a. 53.4
b. 24.4
Step-by-step explanation:
a+j=77.8
j=a-29
a+j=77.8
-a+j=-29
2j=48.8
j=24.4
a+24.4=78.8
a=53.4
<h3>
Answer: B) 2/3</h3>
====================================
Explanation:
The order is important for ABC and XYZ so we can see what letters pair up.
- A pairs with X since they are the first letters
- B pairs with Y since they are the second letters
- C pairs with Z since they are the third letters
Based on that, we can see that AB pairs with XY as they are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively.
Divide the length XY over AB and reduce
XY/AB = 10/15 = 2/3
We could also divide XZ over AC
XZ/AC = 14/21 = 2/3
and we get the same ratio
Answer:
-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line
3x+y = 1
Solve for y
y = -3x+1
This is in slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope
The slope is -3
The slopes of perpendicular lines multiply to -1
m* -3 = -1
m = 1/3
The line perpendicular has a slope of 1 / (3) = 1/3
The sum is -3 + 1/3
-9/2 + 1/3 = -8/3
Answer:
<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division by Sharing</u>
A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.
The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.
The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.
By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.
We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money
