Answer:

6 7/8 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water in a barrel decreases 9 5/8 pints in 7 weeks. The water decreases the same amount each week. What is the change in the amount of water in pints in the barrel in 12 weeks?

From the question, we know that:

7 weeks = 9 5/8 pints

12 weeks = x

Cross Multiply

7x = 12 × 9 5/8

x = 12 × 9 5/8/7

x =( 12 × 77/8 ) ÷ 7

x = 12 × 77/8 × 1/7

x = 12 × 11/8

x = 16 1/2 pints

The change in the amount of water in pints in the barrel in 12 weeks is calculated as:

16 1/2 pints - 9 5/8 pints

Lowest common denominator = 8

7 + (4 - 5/8)

7 + (-1/8)

= 6 7/8 pints

For questions 7 - 12, solve the problem, expressing your answer using the correct number of
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

93.1

24.83

24.13

2755

12.75

0.151

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

21.1 + 45.99 + 26.0 = 93.09

15.55 + 21.61 - 12.333 = 24.827

14 + 0.8 + 9.33 = 24.13

14.5 * 190 = 2755

5.1 * 2.5 = 12.75

0.15 ÷ 0.991 = 0.151

Parallelogram MNPQ was dilated to create parallelogram M'N'P'Q'. On a coordinate plane, 2 parallelograms are shown. Parallelogra
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statements are true about the parallelograms? Check all that apply.

The length of side MN is 2 units.

The length of side M'N' is 5 units.

The image is smaller than the pre-image.

Sides MQ and M'Q' both have the same slope, 1.

The scale factor is 2/5

a) The length of side MN is determined using the formula:

|MN|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-2-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2\\  \\ |MN|=2

The first option is correct

b) The length of side M'N' is determined using the formula:

|M'N'|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(-5-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=2\\  \\ |M'N'|=5

The second option is correct

c) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q' , hence parallelogram M'N'P'Q'  is bigger that parallelogram MNPQ. This means that The image is bigger than the pre-image.

The third option is wrong

d) The slopes are given as:

Slope\ of\ MQ=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{1-2}{-3-(-2)} =1\\ \\Slope\ of\ M'Q'=\frac{Change\ in\ y}{Change\ in\ x}=\frac{3-5}{-7-(-5)} =1\\

Option four is correct

e) From the coordinates of parallelogram MNPQ and M'N'P'Q', we can see that parallelogram MNPQ is dilated by a factor of 5/2 to produce parallelogram M'N'P'Q', hence the scale factor is 5/2

Option 5 is wrong

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint: Endpoint - (1, 3) Midpoint - (0, 0)
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The other endpoint of the line segment = (-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A segment has:

  • Endpoint: (1, 3)
  • Midpoint: (0, 0)

Let (x, y) be the other endpoint of the line segment

\frac{\left(1\:+\:x\right)}{2}=0

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

\frac{2\left(1+x\right)}{2}=0\cdot \:2

1+x=0

x=-1

\frac{\left(3+y\right)}{2}=0

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

\frac{2\left(3+y\right)}{2}=0\cdot \:2

3+y=0

y=-3

Therefore, the other endpoint of the line segment = (-1, -3)
