This is Pythagorean's Theorem, with one leg being 10 and the hypotenuse being 16. Using those values in the theorem looks like this:
and
and
so
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5
The answer is A because the variable can’t be no lower than 3 and every other answer has 2 in it. 2•(3) is equal to 6 and 2•(4) is greater than 6 which correlates with the sign (greater than or equal to).
--Percent means out of 100, so 20% = 20/100
The prob in other words is asking
-- $60 is 20% of what number?
'$60' -- ---> 60
'is' -- ---> =
20% -- ---> 20/100
'of' -- ---> * (multiply)
'what number' ---> x (variable)
Answer:
23 gallons of water
Step-by-step explanation:
People use water to cook, clean, and drink every day. An estimate of 33.9% of the water used each day is for cooking. If a family uses 67.8 gallons of water a day for cooking, how many gallons do they use every day?
This is calculated as:
33.9 % × 67.8 gallons of water
= 0.339 × 67.8 gallons of water
= 22.9842 gallons of water
Approximately = 23 gallons of water
Therefore, 23 gallons of water are used everyday for cooking
