The complete question is:

Oscar and Maria each wrote an equation that they felt represented the proportional relationship between distance in kilometers and distance in miles. One entry in the table paired 152 km with 95 miles. If represents the number of kilometers and represents the number of miles, who wrote the correct equation that would relate kilometers to miles? Explain why.

Oscar wrote the equation = 1.6, and he said that the unit rate 1.6 / 1

represents kilometers per mile.

Maria wrote the equation = 0.625 as her equation, and she said that 0.625 represents kilometers per mile.

Answer:

Oscar wrote the correct equation that would relate kilometers to miles.

Explanation:

1. Table

km miles

152 95

2. Set the proportion with / and solve for k

/ = 152 km / 95 miles

/ = 1.6 km / 1 miles

= 1.6 , where 1.6 / 1 represents kilometers per mile.

So, Oscar is right.

3. Solve the proportion for

/ = 152 km / 95 miles

/ = 95 miles / 152 km

= 0.625 , where 0.625 represents miles per kilometer

So, Maria is wrong.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend policy (hypothesis) of firms as stated by Musa (2009) is a cultural phenomenon that changes continuously according to environment and time, hence it is necessary to continuously modify dividend behavioural models to capture those factors that are peculiar to a particular period and environment, as well as changes in tax.

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13

S_A_V [24]

Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)

A triangle has side lengths of 9 in, 13 in, and 20 in. What is the measurement of this triangle’s largest angle?

zvonat [6]

1. Given any triangle ABC with sides BC=a, AC=b and AB=c, the following are true :

i) the larger the angle, the larger the side in front of it, and the other way around as well. (Sine Law) Let a=20 in, then the largest angle is angle A.

ii) Given the measures of the sides of a triangle. Then the cosines of any of the angles can be found by the following formula:

$a^{2}=b ^{2}+c ^{2}-2bc(cosA)$

2.

$20^{2}=9 ^{2}+13 ^{2}-2*9*13(cosA)

400=81+169-234(cosA) 150=-234(cosA)

cosA=150/-234= -0.641$

3. m(A) = Arccos(-0.641)≈130°,

4. Remark: We calculate Arccos with a scientific calculator or computer software unless it is one of the well known values, ex Arccos(0.5)=60°, Arccos(-0.5)=120° etc
