Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709

Discussion:

Call the first mile marker "m". Then

m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms

2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides

2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2

m = 417416/2 = 208708

Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.

Thank you,

MrB

A stadium has two sponsorship deals. Deal A has revenue of $100,000 and expenses of $10,000. Deal B has revenue of $50,000 and e

meriva

The profit is calculated by subtracting the expenses from the revenue.
For Deal A:
Profit = $100,000 - $10,000
= $90,000
Deal B:
Profit = $50,000 - $20,000 = $30,000

For the percentage of revenue, we divide the revenue by the expense and multiply the quotient by 100%

Deal A: %revenue = $100,000/$10,000 x 100 = 1000%

Deal B: %revenue = $50,000/$20,000 x 100 = 250%

The area of square abcd is 36 square units and the area of triangle ebf is 20 square units. if line eb is perpindicular to line

ValentinkaMS [17]

To find the length of line cf, I first created a square and labeled the vertices a b c d. From here you know the triangle shares the vertice b. I used the lines on the square to add point e. The distance between a and e was 2, leaving us with a distance of 4 from a to b.. I used the 4 to find the missing height. knowing that the total area was 20, the height had to be 10. I extended side cb of the triangle and made a point f. The extra part measured 4 units because the side of the square was 6, so to get 10 I needed 4 more units. I have attached a picture showing this.
