Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12

Sewing patterns recommended buying extra fabric in case of mistakes. Darlene bought 7 yards of fabric, plus 20% extra fabric. Ch
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Darlene bought more fabric

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

Step-by-step explanation:

Darlene = 7 yards + 20% extra

= 7 yards + (20% of 7 yards)

= 7 + (20% × 7)

= 7 + (0.2 × 7)

= 7 + 1.4

= 8.4 yards

Chris = 4 yards + 25% of 4 yards

= 4 yards + (25% of 4 yards)

= 4 + (25% × 4)

= 4 + (0.25 × 4)

= 4 + 1

= 5 yards

Darlene bought more fabric

How much more?

Darlene - Chris

= 8.4 yards - 5 yards

= 3.4 yards

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

9m-19=3M+1. M=10/3 can you tell me the answer
lana [24]
Plug in 10/3

9(10/3)-19= 3(10/3)+1

30-19= 10+1

11=11

That is the solution.

I hope this helps!

Please answer this in two minutes
solniwko [45]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(8sqrt(3))^2 + b^2 = 16^2

64 * 3 + b^2 = 256

192 + b^2 = 256

b^2 = 64

b = 8

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of this triangle is

8 : 8sqrt(3) : 16

which reduces to

1 : sqrt(3) : 2

This is the ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle.

m<W = 30 deg
