Answer: 6.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each case:

Happy paws: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (19) plus the product of the charge per hour (3.50) and the number of hours (h).

Happy Paws Cost = 19+3.50h

Woof Watchers: the cost is equal to the fixed charge (11) plus the product of the charge per hour (4.75) and the number of hours (h).

Woof Watcher Cost = 11+ 4.75h

Since both costs must be equal:

Happy Paws Cost =Woof Watcher Cost

So:

19+3.50h = 11+ 4.75h

Solving for h:

19-11 = 4.75h-3.50h

8 = 1.25h

8/1.25 =h

h = 6.4 hours

Rounding 1.49 to the nearest tenth would make it 1.50

As a fraction 0.50 is 1/2 so 1.50 becomes 1 1/2

Which of these nonterminating decimals can be converted into a rational number? Plz help
Archy [21]

Answer:

0.02020202...  = 2/99.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a repetitive decimal number . It can be converted to a rational number:

.020202,  * 100  = 2.0202...

.020202  * 1       = 0 0202....

Subtract

0.020202 * 99   =   2

So 0.020202.. = 2/99.

Order the sides of the triangle from shortest to longest.
Genrish500 [490]

Answers:

  • Shortest Length = LN
  • Middle Length = LM
  • Longest Length = MN

========================================

Explanation:

Let's find the missing angle.

For any triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180

L+M+N = 180

75+50+N = 180

N+125 = 180

N = 180-125

N = 55

So we know the three angles of the triangle are

  • L = 75
  • M = 50
  • N = 55

We see that M = 50 is the smallest angle, so the smallest side is the segment opposite this angle. The smallest side is LN. The smallest side is always opposite the smallest angle.

Similarly, the largest side is always opposite the largest angle. The largest angle here is L = 75, so the largest side is MN.

The middle side must therefore be LM.

The diagram below shows a visual summary.
