Answer:
C. 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Since all angles in a triangle add up to 180°, we have:
40 + y + y + 30 = 180
2y + 70 = 180
2y = 110
y = 55
To find your answer do 2/3 divided by 1/8 = 5 1/3 containers.
-- The trains start moving at the same time.
-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.
-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.
-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.
That's 40min 3.49sec .
-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other. We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
Divide 3 on both sides
x=3.33
Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
