Answer:

4.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch / 50 miles = x / 212 miles      Cross multiply

1 inch * 212 miles = 50 miles * x      Divide by 50 miles

1 inch * 212 miles / 50 miles = x

x = 4.24 inches.

How much is 0.24 of an inch?

0.24 * 50 = 12

So 0.24 inches represents 12 miles.

Find the length of ST
Andru [333]

Answer:

ST = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

By AA Similarity, triangles ASR and EST are similar.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of triangle ASR to those of EST is 6/8 or 3/4.

\dfrac{SR}{ST} = \dfrac{3}{4}

Also,

SR + ST = 21

By a rule of proportions, you get

\dfrac{SR + ST}{ST} = \dfrac{3 + 4}{4}

\dfrac{21}{ST} = \dfrac{7}{4}

7ST = 4 \times 21

7ST = 84

ST = 12

each time kim pour water from a jug into a glass, exactly 10% of the water remaining in the jug is used. What is the minimum num
Gnoma [55]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

At least 7 times.

Explanation:

Since 10% of the water in the jug is removed each time, this means that 100-10=90% of the water remains.

After two times, we would have 0.9(0.9) = 0.81 = 81% of the water; each time she pours, the number of times 0.9 is multiplied by itself changes.  This makes this an exponential inequality (it is not an equation, as we want "less than half of the water"):

0.5 < 0.9^x

To solve this, we will use logarithms:

\log_{0.9}(0.5)
