A and b are the minutes spent on machine A and machine B, respectively.
a+b = 40
b = 40-a
8a + 6b = 300
8a + 6(40-a) = 300
8a + 240 - 6a = 300
2a = 60
a = 30
b = 40-a = 10
30 minutes on machine A and 10 minutes on machine B
Answer:
The scale factor is <u>5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor, we divide 17 by 3.4 to find how much it was enlarged by.
17/3.4 = 5
We do this becuase when finding the scale factor, we take the dilated shape/side length and divide it by the original shape/side length.
Answer:
1 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Mai's family drinks a total of 10 gallons of milk every 6 weeks so every week they drink 10/6 = 1 4/6 or 1 2/3 gallons of milk
X would equal 8.8 because
5x+4=48
5x=44
X=8.8
The formula for the area of a triangle of base b and altitude h is A = (1/2)(b)(h).
Here, b = 18 cm and h = 9 cm. Thus, the desired area is:
(18 cm)(9 cm)
A = ----------------------- = 81 cm^2
2
This problem gives you more info than is needed to solve it. The area of the given triangle is 81 cm^2.
