Since a stop sign is an octagon it has eight sides. So the perimeter will be:
p=8x, p=perimeter and x=side length. We are told that the perimeter is equal to:
16x^2-80x so we can say:
16x^2-80x=8x subtract 8x from both sides
16x^2-88x=0 factor out 8x
8x(2x-11), since we know x>0
x=11/2
x=5.5 units
Let the speed for the first 12 mi be x mi/h, the speed for 18 mi was (x+4) mi/h
thus given that
time=distance/speed
the average time will be:
3=(12+18)/(x+x+4)
3=30/(2x+4)
solving for x we get
3(2x+4)=30
6x+6=30
6x=24
x=4 mi/hr
Answer: 12 mi/hr

Answer:
scale factor P to Q: 4/5 scale factor Q to P: 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide original length over new length and you'll get the scale factor.

Answer:
<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows
* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M
* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)
I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.
Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
