<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>52% were jelly beans!</h2>

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

<em>Cross </em><em>multiply </em><em>the </em><em>following:</em>

<em>\frac{x}{100}  =  \frac{71.76}{138}</em>

<em>x </em><em>times </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em>x</em>

<em>100 </em><em>times </em><em>7</em><em>1</em><em>.</em><em>7</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>1</em><em>7</em><em>6</em>

<em>Divide </em><em>both </em><em>sides </em><em>by </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em>:</em>

<em>\frac{138x}{138}  =  \frac{7176}{138}</em>

<h3><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>2</em><em>%</em></h3>

Solve for x in this inequality. Show all your work and<br> graph your solution.<br> 4(x-3)&lt;2x-4
maw [93]

Answer:

x<4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in the inequality equation, the terms should be rearranged such that x is on one side and integers are on the other side.

First, expand 4(x-3).

This will obtain:

4x - 12 < 2x - 4

Now, shift x terms and integers on each side.

4x - 2x <  - 4 + 12

After simplifying, it will get:

2x < 8

Finally, we can solve for x.

x < 4

We can also draw the respective graph (please don't mind my drawings), where the area shaded in green is the range.

  1. The slowly increasing distance between South America and Africa is due to: a. <u>Seafloor Spreading</u>.
  2. Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park in the United States of America acquires its energy from a: b. Hot Spot.
  3. Layered <u>sedimentary rock</u> exposed by erosion can be seen when looking at the Grand Canyon in the United States of America.
  4. Australia is made up of relatively old and thick: d. Continental Crust.
  5. The extremely deep ocean Marianas Trench is a result of: g. Subduction.
  6. <u>Seafloor Crust</u>: found in the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe comprises dense and relatively young rock.
  7. The earthquakes that occur in Southern California generally occur above a: f. Fault.

<h3>What is seafloor spreading?</h3>

<u>Seafloor spreading</u> can be defined as a process that involves the formation of new oceanic crust as a result of volcanic activities and an upwelling of molten magma at mid-ocean ridges, as well as a slowly increasing distance (outward movement) from the ridge.

The theory of <u>seafloor spreading</u> was established by Harry Hammond Hess and it can be used to explain in details the slowly increasing distance between South America and Africa which grows from the center.

<h3>What is a hot spot?</h3>

A <u>hot spot</u> refers to an area deep within Earth's mantle or under the rocky outermost layer of Earth, from which heat rises through convection and acquired as heat energy by a landform.

In the United States of America, you will see a layered <u>sedimentary rock</u> that is exposed by erosion when you view the Grand Canyon.

Furthermore, Australia is made up of relatively old and thick <u>continental crust</u>. Also, <u>subduction</u> causes the formation of extremely deep ocean Marianas Trench.
