it would depend how much you actually used, but you would take the amount you used and divide it by the total amount of yarn. so if the yarn was 4m long and you used 2m then it would be 2/4 which is 0.5 which is also 50%, so half the yarn was used.
Answer: There were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010
Step-by-step explanation: If the robberies were reported to be down 20% and the new figure is 176, it simply means the figure 176 depicts 80% (or 0.8) of the figure from year 2010.
We shall take the figure in year 2010 as x, which is 100% (or 1.0) and year 2011 is 176 which is 80% (or 0.8). What we now have is;
176/x = 0.8
176/x = 4/5
By cross multiplication we now have;
(176 x 5)/4 = x
880/4 = x
220 = x
Therefore, there were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010
As you can see, angle 5 and angle 6 are supplementary. And angle 5 and angle 3 are congruent because they are alternate interior angles.
So it will be
x+2 = 180- x+3
move x over from the right to the left
2x+2 = 183
move 2 over from the left to the right
2x = 181
divide by 2
x= 90.5
and angle 3 and angle 1 are vertical angles so they are congruent. Using the angle 3 formula to solve for the answer:
90.5+3 =93.5
When angles are congruent, their measures are congruent, therefore, measure of angle 1 is 93.5
