Answer:
81 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so if 2 angles are complementary, it means that when they are added together, they equal 90 degrees. So using this, we can make an equation. Let's call one angle x and the other that is 72 less than angle x can be described as x - 72. Now let's make that into an equation.
90 = x + x -72
So in order to solve this, we need to get x by itself. So we need to add 72 on both sides, and the equation should now look like this:
162 = x + x
Now we have to add the x's together.
162 = 2x
Now in order to isolate x, you divide by 2 on both sides.
X = 81
So we now know the larger angle is 81, and the smaller angle which is 72 less, would be 9.
Answer:
142 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the situation that Jill measured the distance from the western border to the eastern border in inches. And we are being asked how many miles is the actual distance.
So first , lets look at what we have.
The inches : 3.375
and our reference point
1 inch = 42 miles
We first look at the reference point, if 1 inch is 42 miles, how much would be 3.375 inches?
Multiply 3.375 by 42
==> 141.75 miles
Now the last sentence asks us to round the nearest whole number.
So look at the number next to one in the ones place and we see that the number is greater than 7, so we round up. Leaving us with the answer :
142 miles
Answer:
6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance/ time
6000meters to km = 6000/1000= 6km
speed for the first race = 6/2
speed = 3km/hr
for the second race
speed = distance/time
3 = 18/time
cross multiply
3* t = 18
divide both sides by 3
t = 18/3
t = 6 hours
14/16
Then reduced it would be
7/8 you leave 16 and add 11 to 3 and get that number
