11/75 = x/65.....11 in. to 75 lbs. = x in. to 65 lbs.
cross multiply
(75)(x) = (65)(11)
75x = 715
x = 715/75
x = 9.53 rounds to 9.5 <==

A restaurant makes pizzas with 6-inch diameters ad 12-inch diameters. Which of the following statement is true?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The correct option is c: the area of the 6-inch pizza is 1/4 the area of the 12-inch pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of each pizza is given by:

A = \pi r^{2}

Where:

r: is the radius

For the 12-inch pizza we have:

A_{12} = \pi (\frac{12 inch}{2})^{2} = 113.1 inch

And for the 6-inch pizza we have:

A_{6} = \pi (\frac{6 inch}{2})^{2} = 28.3 inch

The ratio between A₆ and A₁₂ is:

\frac{A_{6}}{A_{12}} = \frac{28.3 inch}{113.1 inch} = 0.25 = \frac{1}{4}

Hence:

A_{6} = \frac{A_{12}}{4}

Therefore, the correct option is c: the area of the 6-inch pizza is 1/4 the area of the 12-inch pizza.

A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC b
iragen [17]

The student made the mistake in Step 2.

It should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 (Supplementary angles)

If this is corrected, then, since m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 from Step 1,

we have,

m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p which is Step 3.

Cancelling m∠o both sides, we get,

m∠m + m∠n = m∠p which is Step 4.

Plsss help. Thanks!!
slava [35]

Answer:

401

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, one first has to think about the given figure in a certain way. In the figure, one can see that it is a circle attached on either side of a rectangle. To find the perimeter of the figure, one has to find the circumference of the circle and then add two sides of the rectangle to the answer

2. Circumference of the circle

The formula to find the circumference of a circle is;

2r(pi) or d(pi)

~ diameter times the value (pi)

Normally to find the circumference of a semicircle, one would have to divide this formula by 2, but since in this case, one has to add two congruent semicircles, so therefore, the effect of dividing the equation by two, only to multiply by two again cancels, and hence, there is no need to divide by 2.

Substitute in the values;

(78)(pi)

~ 245

3. Find the perimeter of the entire object

Now, one has to add the two additional sides of the figure, to the circumferences of the semicircles to get the final answer;

78 + 78 + 245

= 401

Zachary purchased a computer for 1800 on a payment plan. Three months after he purchased the computer, his balance was 1350. Fiv
zubka84 [21]

<u>Solution-</u>

Zachary purchased a computer for 1800 on a payment plan.  (Initial Money)

3 months after he bought the computer, his balance was 1350. (Money after 3 months)

Total money paid in 3 months = 1800-1350 = 450

Money paid per month = 450/3 = 150

5 months after he bought the computer, his balance was 1050.

Total spent = 1800-1050 = 750 = (5× 150)

So the equation that models the balance b after m months,

b = 1800 - m(150)

∴ Here, the slope signifies the constant monthly deduction of $150.
