Mathematics

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

2 : 9 = 90 : X

Then we know

9/2 = X/90

Multiplying both sides by 90 cancels on the right

90 × (9/2) = (X/90) × 90

90 × (9/2) = X

Then solving for X

X = 90 × (9/2)

X = 405

Therefore

2 : 9 = 90 : 405

What are a) the ratio of the perimeters and b) the ratio of the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure
vfiekz [6]
Assuming that the figures given are square such that the scale factor between them is equal to 28/8 which can be further simplified into 7/2. The ratio of the perimeter is also equal to this value, 7/2. However, the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of this value giving us an answer of 49/4.

A long distance runner starts at the beginning of a trail and runs at a rate of 4 miles per hour. two hours later, a cyclist sta
valina [46]

To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

A = runner

B = cyclist

d = distance

v = velocity

time = t

 

The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:

dA = dB

 

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

d = v t

therefore,

vA tA = vB tB

 

Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:

vA (tB + 2) = vB tB

4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB

4 tB + 8 = 14 tB

10 tB = 8

tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min

 

Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8 hours or 48 minutes.

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (12, 5); m = -3
givi [52]

Answer:

y - 5 = -3(x - 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line.

Plug in the point and the slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -3(x - 12)

So, y - 5 = -3(x - 12) is the equation in point slope form of the line.

Whole number 6 is equal to ?/3
Ugo [173]

Step-by-step explanation:

That means 6/3 is equivalent to 2 wholes! When the numerator is divisible by the denominator, the fraction is equivalent a whole number. If the numerator is equal to the denominator, you will always have one whole, or 1.
