Jeff and his friends win a prize.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Prize, P = $352

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let Jeff's share be J.
  • Let the value of the prize be P.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • J = $160
  • J = 5P/11

To find the value of the prize;

\frac {5}{11} * P = 160

\frac {5P}{11} = 160

Cross-multiplying, we have;

5P = 160 * 11

5P = 1760

P = \frac {1760}{5}

<em>Prize, P = $352</em>

What value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem is 30

Third option 30


Solution:

The similarity theorem indicates that the sides of similar triangles must be proportional, then:

x/45=x/45=50/75

x/45=50/75

Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 45:

45(x/45)=45(50/75)

x=(45)(50)/75

x=2,250/75

x=30

How tall is the goal post if its shadow is 18ft. The height of the flagpole is 20 ft and its shadow is 8 ft.?
tamaranim1 [39]

You can set up an inequality to solve this. You can either do big to small --> \frac{x}{18} = \frac{20}{8} or small to big --> \frac{x}{18} = \frac{8}{20}. I'm going to be using big to small because I think it's a little easier.

\frac{20}{8} = \frac{x}{18}

Cross multiply and you will get:

360 = 8x

Isolate x:

x = \frac{360}{8}

x = \frac{90}{2}

x = 45

The goal post is 45 feet tall. Hope this helped. Good luck. : )

This year, students in the 9th grade are collecting dimes and quarters for a school fundraiser. They are trying to collect more
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

0.10d + 0.25q > 143.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total dimes collected be d.

1\ dime = \$0.10

d\ dimes = \$0.10d

Let the total quarters collected be q.

1\ quarter = \$0.25

q\ quarters = \$0.25q

Last\ Year = \$143.88

Required

Represent as an inequality

The total collection, this year, can be represented as:

Total = 0.10d + 0.25q

From the question, we understand that:

This year's collections is expected to be greater than last year's

This can be represented as:

Total > Last\ Year

Substitute in the right values:

0.10d + 0.25q > 143.88

The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.15. A group of 4 independent samples are checked.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

0.5220

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of contamination is 0.15, the probability of no contamination is 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

The probability that they are all contaminated will be 0.85 * 0.85 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.52200625

This is 0.5220 to four decimal
