Answer:

Similar figures - In Depth. If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.

Lily made $75.36 more than Layla did.  If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would still not make more money than Lily.

Use a proportion to find the number of cupcakes Lily makes in 8 hours.  She bakes 7 cupcakes in 10 minutes; we want to know how many she makes in 8(60)=480 (since there are 8 hours and each hour is 60 minutes):

7/10 = x/480

Cross multiply:
7*480 = 10*x
3360 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10:
3360/10 = 10x/10
336 = x

Lily bakes 336 cupcakes.

She sells 2/3 of these; 2/3(336) = 2/3(336/1) = 672/3 = 224 cupcakes sold.

Each cupcake is sold for $1.29; 224(1.29) = 288.96

To find the number of cupcakes Layla makes in 8 hours, we set up a different proportion.  We know she bakes 8 cupcakes in 12 minutes; we want to know how many she bakes in 8(60) = 480 minutes:

8/12 = x/480
8*480 = 12*x
3840 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12:
3840/12 = 12x/12
320 = x

She bakes 320 cupcakes.  She sells 75% of those; 75% = 75/100 = 0.75:
0.75(320) = 240

Each of those 240 cupcakes sells for $0.89:
0.89(240) = 213.60

This means Lily makes 288.96-213.60 = 75.36 more than Layla.

If Layla raised her price to $1.00, she would make 1(240) = $240; this is still less than Lily.

6 students have black hair, 3 students have blonde hair, and 21 students have brown hair. since percentages come out of 100% you can use ten as a smaller size, so 20% of 10 is 1, multiply that by three because our full percentage is out of 30, and you get 3, and so on.

Which of the following values of x satisfy the equation 3x2 - 8x + 4 = 0?
german

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 8x + 4 = 0

x= [-b +or- square root (b^2 - 4ac)] ÷ 2a

= [-(-8) +or- square root (-8)^2 - 4(3)(4)] ÷ 2(3)

= [8 +or- square root 16] ÷ 6

= 2 or 2/3
