Answer:
30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + b² = c²
(15sqrt(2))² + (15sqrt(2))² = c²
225 * 2 + 225 * 2 = c²
c² = 900
c = sqrt(900)
c = 30
Answer: 30 ft
Answer:
1.x/15 < 4.25
2. she can have a maximum of 63 lizards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take wholesale cost and multiply it by 95%, then add to the original value
another way, just multiply by 1.95
Retail cost: 1.95*($99.50) = $194.03
The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
(-8)x=(-6)x+10
(-2)x=10
X=10/-2
X=-5
