Answer:

3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.

When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12

5. Which image in the collage to the right is an
OleMash [197]

Answer:

B. A water wheel in a dry river

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force moves a body or an object through a certain distance in the direction of the force. Thus for work to be done, force and distance are required.

i.e Work done = Force x distance

It is measured in Joules.

Also, the work done by an object could be a measured of potential energy.

So that,

Work done = potential energy = mass x gravitational force x height

Considering the collage in the question, since the water wheel is in a dry river no work is done. Water wheel is a device that functions through the flow of water body, thus causing its rotation.

Question
Zielflug [23.3K]

Convert the 6 seconds to hours:

5 seconds x x 1/60 ( minutes per seconds) x 1/60 (Hours per minute) = 6/3600 = 1/600 hours.

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 585 x 1/600 = 585/600 = 0.975 miles

Convert miles to feet:

0.975 x 5280 = 5,148 feet

The plane traveled 5,148 feet in 6 seconds.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Theorem: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Proof: Given ABCD, let the diagonals AC and BD intersect at E, we must prove that AE ∼ = CE and BE ∼ = DE. The converse is also true: If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
