Answer:

36 elves

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportions

We have space for 30 more giants

30 giants x elves

------------- = ----------

120 full 144 elves full

Using cross products

30*144 = x*120

Divide each side by 120

30*144/120 = 120x/120

36 = x

We can have 36 elves

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

make proportion giants to elves

120/144 = 90/x cross multiply

120x =144*90

120x =12960 divide by 120

x = 108

so if there are 90 giants in the theater there are 108 elves also

considering that total 144 elves can be in the theater subtract 144 and 108 so 36 more elves can be admitted

The equation of line q is 5y - 4x = 10. Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to q and passes through the point (-

soldi70 [24.7K]

5y=4x+10 /:5
y=4/5 x+2
y=mx+k
m₁*m₂=-1
4/5 *m=-1
m=-5/4
y=-5/4 x+k
-5/4*(-15)+k=8
75/4 + k=8
k=32/4 - 75/4
k=-53/4=-13.25
y=-5/4 x - 53/4

If a fraction can be written as a repeating decimal,only one digit can repeat over and over, without end. True or false?

steposvetlana [31]

True. it can only be written as one repeating number because eventually, a set of numbers would cancel out i think

Answer:

C and A

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be isosceles then the legs are congruent, that is

XZ = XY , substitute values

5x - 1 = 3x + 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3 → C

The diagonals of a square bisect each other

Calculate PR using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R(6, - 8)

PR = $\sqrt{(6-0)^2}+(-8-0)^2$

= $\sqrt{6^2+(-8)^2}$

= $\sqrt{36+64}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10

Then

PT = 0.5 × 10 = 5 → A
