$\huge\boxed{\sf No}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week

25 hours were spent this week.

Let's see what 125% of 20 equals:

= (125 / 100) * 20

= (125 / 10) * 2

= 125 / 5

= 25 hours

But,

It is written that Evan thought he spent 125 % more than the last week which means:

= (125% of 20) + 20

= 25 + 20

= 45 hours

He should've said that he has given 25% more time than the last week.

(Note that: 25 % of 20 equals 5 so 25 % more than last week will be equal to (25 % + 20) = (5+20) = 25)

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Mrs. Jones is building wooden picture frames. She has 1 5/8 of wood and needs 3/4 for each frame. How many frames can she make w

jonny [76]

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

$1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$

substitute

$\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames$

Simplify

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation below? log₂ (6x)-log₂ (√x)=2

slega [8]

Answer:

The true solution is x=4/9

EXPLANATION

The logarithmic equation given to us is

We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.

When we apply this law the expression becomes

We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get

We square both sides to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

This simplifies to

We divide both sides by 36 to get

We simplify to get,

Viefleur [7K]

Given that the number of possible handshakes within a group of n people is given by the equation:

 $N= \frac{1}{2} (n^2-n)$

Given that there are 105 people at a party, the number of possible handshakes is given by:

 $N= \frac{1}{2} (105^2-105) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} (11025-105)=10920$

Referring to the Fig. in Question #40, find the unknown length Y.

icang [17]

Answer:

tan30°=7/x

$\frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{7}{x } \\ x = 7 \sqrt{3}$

cos30°=x/y

$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{7 \sqrt{3} }{y} \\ \\ 7 \sqrt{3} \times 2 = \sqrt{3} \times y \\ \frac{7 \sqrt{3 } \times 2}{ \sqrt{3} } = y \\7 \times 2 = y \\ 14 = y$

tell me if it's wrong.
