Answer:

-135/14

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any pair of numbers you name. These two number have the decimal values ...

-67/7 = -9 4/7 = -9.571428... (repeating)

-78/8 = -9 3/4 = -9.75

So, numbers like -9.6 = -48/5, or -9.7 = -97/10 are rational numbers that lie in the range you specified.

If you like, you can convert these numbers to ones with a common denominator (56).

-67/7 = -536/56

-78/8 = -546/56

These limits suggest several possible rational numbers with 56 as a denominator: -540/56 = -135/14, for example.

If there bill was 58.65 and they gave a sever a 15% tip, how much did they pay altogether

masha68 [24]

Answer:

$67.43 altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

A 15% percent tip means 15% OF the bill.

15% of 58.65

$0.15*58.65=8.7975$

You can't really pay $8.7975, so you would round to the nearest one hundredth which is $8.78.

Now you add the $8.78 to $58.65 which will give you $67.43.

I hope that helps!

Prove that the triangle EDF is isosceles. Give reasons for your answer.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the attached figure.

We are given the following things:

$\angle EDF = y$

$\text{External }\angle DFG = 90 +\dfrac{y}{2}$

Let us try to find out $\angle E$ and $\angle DFE$ . After that we will compare them.

Finding  $\angle DFE$ :

Side EG is a straight line so $\angle GFE = 180$

$\angle GFE$ is sum of internal $\angle DFE$ and external $\angle DFG$

$\angle GFE = 180 = \angle DFE + \angle DFG\\\Rightarrow 180 = \angle DFE + (90+\dfrac{y}{2})\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 180 - 90 - \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 90 - \dfrac{y}{2} ....... (1)$

Finding  $\angle E$ :

Property of external angle: External angle in a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite internal angles of a triangle.

i.e. external $\angle DFG$ = $\angle E + \angle EDF$

$\Rightarrow 90+\dfrac{y}{2} = \angle E + y\\\Rightarrow \angle E = 90+\dfrac{y}{2} -y\\\Rightarrow \angle E = 90-\dfrac{y}{2} ....... (2)$

Comparing equations (1) and (2):

It can be clearly seen that:

$\angle DFE = \angle E =90-\dfrac{y}{2}$

The two angles of $\triangle EDF$ are equal hence $\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.

Answer:

4 dogs :]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 brown dogs = 12 dogs

5/6 black dogs = 80 dogs

12 + 80 = 92

96 - 92 = 4

Therefore, 4 dogs are mixed colors.
