Since south and west are at 90 degree angle that means we can use pythagorean theorem to find the distance.

It goes like this:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = 3
b = 4

implementing this in pythagoras formula we get that c = 5

Digiron [165]

Answer:\frac{17}{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The bag contains 6 orange and 9 lime sweets

For both sweets of the same flavor, Jodi must either choose orange or lime

No. of ways it can be done is ^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1

The total no of ways of selecting two sweets out of 15 is ^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1

The probability that both sweets are the same flavor

P=\dfrac{^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1}{^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1}=\frac{102}{210}=\frac{51}{105}=\frac{17}{35}

Assume y varies directly with x. when y=2 2/3 when x=1/4, what is y when x=1 1/8? NEED HELP QUICK!!
snow_tiger [21]

3y=8x

Explanation:

If y varies directly with x then

y=c⋅x for some constant of variation c

If (x,y)=(14,23) is a solution to this equation, then

23=c⋅14

→c=23⋅41=83

So

y=83x

or (clearing the fraction)

3y=8x
