Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%

Arielle wants to make a circular garden. She has enough fencing for a garden circumference of 15 feet. There is a 7-foot gap bet
lesantik [10]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to check if the circle with a circumference of 15 feet is smaller then 7 feet. If so it possible.

Formule for circular circumference = pi * diameter, which should be 15.

So pi * d =15

There fore d = 15/pi

d = 4.77464829275686 feet, which is smaller then 7 feet, so it will fit easilly.

Does someone mind helping me with this? Thank you!

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

The given two polygons are similar to one another ~

Sides of the given polygons are in ratio of :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 28 : 4

to put in simple Ratio ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 7: 1

So, the sides of the larger polygon are :

  • 4 × 7 = 28

  • 6 × 7 = 42

  • 3 × 7 = 21

  • 4 × 7 = 28

  • 7 × 7 = 49

  • 3 × 7 = 21

  • 3 × 7 = 21

  • 4 × 7 = 28

Now, to find the Perimeter of larger polygon ~ add the side length of all sides :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:p = 28 + 42 + 21 + 28 + 49 + 21 + 21 + 28

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:238 \:  \: units

The table below shows the number of years since 1995 and the price of milk.
diamong [38]

Answer:

Slope = 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are not asked what to calculate but we can as welll look for the slope of the relationship.

Slope in this scenario will be the rate of change in price of milk with respect to time.

Slope = ∆P/∆t

The standard equation will be expressed as P = mt+c where

m is the slope

t is time

P is the price of milk.

Comparing this with the given model

P(t)=0.06t+2.52

On comparison, we can see that;

m = 0.06

Hence the slope of the expression is 0.06
