Answer:

87.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Like stated previously similar triangle have side lengths with common ratios

*Create a proportionality to solve for MK*

57/13 = MK / 20

Now solve for MK

Multiply each side by 20

57/13 * 20 = 87.7 ( rounded )

MK/20 * 20 = MK

We're left with MK = 87.7

Answer:

$MK\approx 87.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, similar polygons have corresponding sides in a constant proportion. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion (ratio of corresponding sides) to solve for $MK$ :

$\frac{20}{13}=\frac{MK}{57},\\MK=\frac{57\cdot 20}{13}\approx \boxed{87.7}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$S_{31} = 9 \cdot 31 + [-0.5 \cdot \frac{31(31-1)}{2}] = 46.5$

$S_{40} = 40 + [-3 \cdot \frac{40(40-1)}{2}] = -2300$

Lucy spends 4 hours a week babysitting. Her sister Lily spends seven eighths as much time babysitting. Does Lily babysit for mor

olganol [36]

Answer:

Lily babysit for less than 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lucy spends in a week babysitting for 4 hours.

Lily spends seven-eighths of 4 hours.

Now, to find whether Lily babysit for more than 4 hours or less than that.

Number of hours Lucy babysit = 4 hours.

So, to get the hours Lily babysit:

$\frac{7}{8}\ of\ 4\ hours.$

$=\frac{7}{8}\times 4\\\\=\frac{28}{8} \\\\$

On simplifying we get:

$=\frac{7}{2} \\\\=3\frac{1}{2}\ hours.$

Thus, Lily spends $3\frac{1}{2}\ hours$ for babysitting which is less than 4 hours.

Therefore, Lily babysit for less than 4 hours.

A manufacturer produces cherry, peppermint, cinnamon, and orange-flavored gum. Each flavor is available with sugar or sugar-free

Semenov [28]

Answer: The total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Choices for flavours = 4

Choices for sugar = 2 {either sugar or sugar free}

Choices for the qunatity = 3

By Fundamental counting principle,

Total number of different types of labels will have to produce = (Choices for flavors) x (Choices for sugar)x (Choices for the quantity )

= 4 x 2x 3

=24

Hence, the total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.
