Answer:

130 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual distance = 31/4 x 40

convert 31/4 to an improper fraction

to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :  

1. Multiply the whole number  by the denominator

2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step

3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator  

13/4 x 40 = 130 miles

What is the value of x in 9/5 x = 2/3
Anna [14]

Answer:

x = 10/27

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

9/5x = 2/3

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide both sides by 9/5:          x = 10/27

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    9/5(10/27) = 2/3
  2. Multiply:                        90/135 = 2/3
  3. Simplify:                        2/3 = 2/3

And we have our final answer!

Zachary has nickels, dimes and quarters in his piggy bank. He has 58 coins with a total value of $6.50. There are twice as many
kari74 [83]

Answer:

nickel = 16

dimes = 32

quarters = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of coins Zachery have in his piggy bank = 58

total money Zachery have in his piggy bank = $6.50

Suppose number of nickel = x

               number of dimes = 2x

               number of quarters = y

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

1 quarter = $0.25

<h3>Equation 1</h3>

x + 2x + y = 58

3x + y = 58

<h3>Equation 2</h3>

x(0.05) + 2x(0.10) + y(0.25) = 6.50

0.05x + 0.2x + 0.25y = 6.50

0.25x + 0.25y = 6.50

y = 58 - 3x

<h3>put value of y in equation 2</h3>

0.25x + 0.25(58 - 3x) = 6.50

0.25x + 14.5 - 0.75x = 6.50

-0.5x = 6.50 - 14.5

-0.5x = -8

x = 16

y = 58 - 3x

y = 58 -3(16)

y =10

number of nickel = x = 16

number of dimes = 2x = 32

number of quarters = y = 10

What is the sum of (1-5q)+2(2.5q+8)
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

... 1 - 5q +2·2.5q +2·8

... = 1 -5q +5q +16 . . . . . carry out the multiplication

... = q(-5+5) +(1 +16) . . . . group like terms

... = q·0 +17 . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

... = 17

rjkz [21]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

If JK bisects the angle, the two angles are equal

6x+2 = 8x-6

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x+2 = 8x-6x-6

2 = 2x-6

Add 6 to each side

2+6 =2x-6+6

8 =2x

Divide by 2

8/2 =2x/2

4 =x

Now find angle LJM, which is the sum of the two angles

6x+2 + 8x-6

14x -4

14*4-4

56-4
