Answer:

Gabriel should use 2.4 kilograms of the compost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the ratio of Compost : Potting Soil  = 2 : 8

Also, total weight of the mix = 12 kg

Let us assume the common factor in the ratio  = m

So, the amount of compost used in the mix = 2 x m = 2m

Also, the amount of Potting soil used in the mix = 8 x m = 8m

Weight of Compost + Weight of potting soil = 12 kg

⇒ 2m + 8 m = 12

or, 10 m = 12

⇒ m = 12/ 10 = 1.2   , or m = 1.2

So, now the weight of the compost used = 2 m = 2 x 1.2 = 2. 4 kg

And the weight of potting soil used = 8 m = 8 x 1.2  = 9 . 6 kg

Hence, Gabriel should use 2.4 kilograms of the compost.

NeTakaya

Answer:

△NPK≅△HBG; and △KNP≅△GHB

Explanation:

Using the given congruence statement, we can determine corresponding pieces of the triangles:

P corresponds to B; K corresponds to G; and N corresponds to H.

This means that △NKP≅△HGB, not HBG.

△KPN≅△GBH, not BHG.

△NPK≅△HBG; this is correct.

△KNP≅△GHB; this is correct.

4.6w - 3 + 6.4x - 1.9y <br> What are the terms and coefficients?
Soloha48 [4]

For the algebraic expression 4.6w - 3 + 6.4x - 1.9y, the terms are 4.6w, - 3, 6.4x, and - 1.9y, and the coefficients are 4.6, 6.4, and -1.9 respectively.

Given: To find terms and coefficients in 4.6w - 3 + 6.4x - 1.9y

What are algebraic expressions?

Algebraic expressions are sequences or combinations of characters containing letters, numbers, variables, symbols, operands, etc.

They help in making a big problem short and to make a relationship between different parts of the problem.

What are the terms?

In algebraic expressions, terms are individual components involved in forming the algebraic expression except for the operators.

What are coefficients?

In algebraic expressions, coefficients are the numbers of letters that are associated with the variables.

Let's solve the given problem:

Given algebraic expression: 4.6w - 3 + 6.4x - 1.9y

Therefore the terms in the algebraic expression are: 4.6w, - 3, 6.4x, and - 1.9y

and the coefficients are: 4.6, 6.4, and -1.9 as w, x, and y are the variables or unknowns of the given algebraic expression.

Hence for the algebraic expression 4.6w - 3 + 6.4x - 1.9y, the terms are 4.6w, - 3, 6.4x, and - 1.9y, and the coefficients are 4.6, 6.4, and -1.9 respectively.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Answer:

  A: (3x +4)

  B: (4x +5y) × (4x -5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

Since we know the trinomial is a perfect square, we know the terms of each binomial factor are the square roots of the first and last terms of the trinomial.

  9x² +24x +16 = (√(9x²) +√16)² = (3x +4)²

The side of the square is 3x+4.

__

<u>Part B</u>:

The difference of squares is factored like this:

  a²-b² = (a +b)(a -b)

The given area expression is the difference of squares with ...

  a = 4x, b = 5y

so, the factorization is ...

  16x² -25y² = (4x +5y)(4x -5y)

The dimensions of the rectangle are (4x+5y) by (4x-5y).

Wes has a piece of land with side lengths of 36.2 m, 41.6 m, 39.4 m, and 31.2 m. He also has 150 m of tape to mark the boundarie
Lesechka [4]
Add up all of the side lengths and you get 148.4 as the perimeter.

subtract that from 150 and you're left with 1.6 m left of tape
