Answer:

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of children = 40

Number of adults = 12

Total number = 40 + 12 = 52 people

Each car can hold 5 people.

Number of cars = $\frac{52}{5}$

Number of cars = 10.4

Rounding off to next whole number as one car can hold a maximum of 5 people.

Number of cars = 11

Hence,

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

16. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(6x+20)^{\circ}$ and $(x+100)^{\circ}$ are alternate exterior angles. By alternate exterior angles, the measures of alternate exterior angles are the same:

$6x+20=x+100\\ \\6x-x=100-20\\ \\5x=80\\ \\x=16$

Then

$(6x+20)^{\circ}=(6\cdot 16+20)^{\circ}=116^{\circ}\\ \\(x+100)^{\circ}=(16+100)^{\circ}=116^{\circ}$

17. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(2x+12)^{\circ}$ and $(3x-22)^{\circ}$ are alternate interior angles. By alternate interior angles, the measures of alternate interior angles are the same:

$2x+12=3x-22\\ \\2x-3x=-22-12\\ \\-x=-34\\ \\x=34$

Then

$(2x+12)^{\circ}=(2\cdot 34+12)^{\circ}=80^{\circ}\\ \\(3x-22)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 34-22)^{\circ}=80^{\circ}$

18. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(6x-7)^{\circ}$ and $(5x+10)^{\circ}$ are alternate exterior angles. By alternate interior angles, the measures of alternate exterior angles are the same:

$6x-7=5x+10\\ \\6x-5x=10+7\\ \\x=17$

Then

$(6x-7)^{\circ}=(6\cdot 17-7)^{\circ}=95^{\circ}\\ \\(5x+10)^{\circ}=(5\cdot 17+10)^{\circ}=95^{\circ}$

19. The diagram shows two complementary angles with measures $2x^{\circ}$ and $56^{\circ}$ . The measures of complementary angles add up to $90^{\circ},$ then

$2x+56=90\\ \\2x=90-56\\ \\2x=34\\ \\x=17$

Hence,

$2x^{\circ}=2\cdot 17^{\circ}=34^{\circ}$

Check:

$34^{\circ}+56^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$

20. Angles $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ are vertical angles. By vertical angles theorem, vertical angles are congruent, so

$m\angle 1=m\angle 2\\ \\5x+7=3x+15\\ \\5x-3x=15-7\\ \\2x=8\\ \\x=4$

Hence,

$m\angle 1=(5x+7)^{\circ}=(5\cdot 4+7)^{\circ}=27^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle 2=(3x+15)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 4+15)^{\circ}=27^{\circ}$

21. $\angle 5$ and $\angle 8$ are supplementary. The measures of supplementary angles add up to $180^{\circ},$ so

$m\angle 5+m\angle 8=180^{\circ}\\ \\3x-40+7x-120=180\\ \\10x-160=180\\ \\10x=180+160\\ \\10x=340\\ \\x=34$

Therefore,

$m\angle 5=(3x-40)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 34-40)^{\circ}=62^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle 8=(7x-120)^{\circ}=(7\cdot 34-120)^{\circ}=118^{\circ}\\ \\62^{\circ}+118^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

A measuring wheel is used to calculate the length of a path. The diameter of the wheel is 8 inches. If the wheel rotates 15 time

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

To fint the length first one must find circumference to do that we use the formula D*Pi (diameter times Pi. Diameter = 8 Pi is the constant of 3.1415
so. 8*3.1415 = appox 25.1327. cow that we have circumference we should multiply by the amount of times the wheel rotates (15)
so. 15*251327 = appox 376.9911in now convert to feet. 12 in = 1 foot so divide by 12
so 376.9911 / 12 = about 31.4
round down to 31 feet

Ella is a landscape photographer. One weekend at her art gallery she sells a total of 52 prints for a total of $2,975. How many

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Ella sold the each print for the cost of $57.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of prints sold at gallery = 52

Total amount it is sold for = $2,975

Noe, If 52 prints are sold for $2,975.

⇒ $\textrm{Cost of 1 print} = \frac{\textrm{Total cost of 52 prints}}{\textrm{52}}$

$= \frac{2,975}{52} = 57.21$

or, Cost of 1 print = $57.21

So, Ella sold the each print for the cost of $57.21.

A display case of hat pins are marked 5 for $3. If Patty has $21, how many hat pins can Patty get? (assume no other taxes and fe

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: 35

Explanation: If patty has $21, and $3 is the price for 5 hat pins, then: 21/3=7, so she can buy 7 packages which cost $3 and contain 5 pins, and because the question asked the number of pins, we will multiply 7 • 5 and that equals 35
