During a 60-minute period, a traffic engineer counted 54 trucks and cars that crossed a bridge. The ratio of trucks to cars that

travel across the bridge is usually 2:7. The equation LaTeX: \frac{2}{7}=\frac{t}{54-t}2 7 = t 54 − t can be used to predict the number of trucks, t, the engineer should have counted. How many trucks should the engineer have counted?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression for the equation representing the prediction of number of trucks as;

2/7 = t/54-t where t is the number of trucks

To get the number of trucks t, we will have to evaluate the expression and solve for t as shown;

Given 2/7 = t/54-t

Cross multiply

2(54-t) = 7t

Open the parenthesis

2(54)-2t = 7t

108-2t = 7t

7t+2t = 108

9t = 108

Divide both sides by 9

9t/9 = 108/9

t = 21

Hence the engineers should have counted 21trucks

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us begin with the AA Similarity definition. It states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

This means that we need:

  • An angle of one triangle that is congruent to an angle of the other triangle.
  • Another angle of one triangle that is congruent to another angle of the other triangle.

For this problem, it is unclear that there are more than one angles that are congruent to each other. We see that angle <DEF and <ABC are congruent, but the problem does not give any other angles. In another case, we must find one more to prove similarity by the AA similarity theorem.

What percent of 225 is 180
Marysya12 [62]
Hello! To solve this problem, we should do 180/225. When you do that, you get 0.8. But then, you must multiply by 100 to get your percentage. When you do that, the product should be 80. 180 is 80% of 225.

Which of the following graphs represent the equation y=3x+2
seropon [69]

Answer:You haven't attached a picture but this is what your line should look like

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation you simply have to graph it.

First, you have to remember that these equations follow a formula: y=mx+b. m is the slope of you line and b is the y-intercept.

Next, you need to graph it. First, graph your b, in this case 2. You would go up 2 on you graph (graph (0,2)). Then, you would graph your slope which is 3.

Now, remember that slope equals y/x, so think of the number 3 being like 3/1. You would start at (0,2) and go up 3 points in the graph, then over 1 point (graph where you end up). You repeat that from each new point you make until you have enough points to create a straight line.

Hope this helps a bit,
