Answer: x = 2.65, y = 3.81
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC similar to PQR
1) Find the ratio of corresponding sides
2) Use that ratio to find values for x & y
1) Side AB = 2.76cm & Side PR = <em>y</em><em> </em>cm
Side BC = <em>x</em> cm & Side RQ = 3.66 cm
Side CA = 3 cm & Side QP = 4.14 cm (both lengths given)
Can match 3 to 4.14 & ratio of sides in ABC to PQR= 3 /4.14
Length of sides ABC = 3/4.14 times the length of sides PQR
2) x = (3 / 4.14) * 3.66 = 2.65
Now solve for y, ABC to PQR: 2.76 = (3 / 4.14) (<em>y </em>)
<em>equality property</em> (both sides) & inverse operation to isolate <em>y : </em> . 2.76 ÷ (3 / 4.14) = (3 / 4.14 ) ÷ (3 / 4.14) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>
2.76 * (4.14 / 3) = 3 / 4.14 * (4.14 / 3) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>
(2.76 * 1.38 ) = 3.81 = <em>y</em>

Answer:
72%
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 36 by 50 to get .72, and then convert it to a percentage
<span>y = slope*x + y-intercept;
</span>We can rewrite our equation in a shorter form : y = mx + b;
y = x + 2 ; m1 = 2 and b1 = 2;
y = -x + 6; m2 = -1 and b2 = 6;
<span>Set the two equations for y equal to each other:
</span>x + 2 = -x + 6 ;
<span>Solve for x. This will be the x-coordinate for the point of intersection:
</span>2x = 4;
x = 2;
<span>Use this x-coordinate and plug it into either of the original equations for the lines and solve for y. This will be the y-coordinate of the point of intersection:
</span>y = 2 + 2 ;
y = 4;
<span>The point of intersection for these two lines is (2 , 4).</span>
Answer:
She still has to cut 1 3 /16
Step-by-step explanation:
Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.
She already cut off 2 9/16 inches converting to improper fractions it becomes 41/16 inches.
15/4 - 41/16 = (60-41)/16 = 19/16 inches
19/16 = 1.187 ~ 1
19 - (16 x 1) =3
