Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
By vertical angles:
Hence, by substitution:
Then by Angle-Angle Similarity:
"Product" means to multiply, so you have to multiply 379 by 8 to get 3,032; it's between the numbers 3,031 and 3,033
If Connie and her two friends are completing the relay, this means that there are three people.
If they each rode an equal part of the race this means that we must divide the 10 miles (the distance ridden) by 3 (the number of racers).
As a fraction this equals 3 and 1/3 and in a decimal this equals approximately 3.33
For the answer to the question above,
and we are told that there are "four times as many quarters as nickels"
this translates to
q = 4n
0.05n + 0.25q = 2.10
and
q = 4n
are your two equations that could be used to solve this problem
if you would like to know how many nickels and how many quarters there are, plug in q = 4n into the first equation and get
0.05n + 0.25(4n) = 2.10
then I would stop here
because I didn't see the choices. So the answer is 4n
Here is the solution for the given problem above:
Given: 5/8 yard of ribbon = total length of the ribbon
1/12 yard = length of the ribbon after Tom cut it equally
? = number of pieces of 1/12 yard from 5/8 yard
So to divide fractions, here is the solution
5/8 divided by 1/12
5/8 multiplied by 12/1
5x12 is 60
8x1 is 8.
So 60/8 would be 7.5. Therefore, the number of pieces that was cut from the 5/8 ribbon is 7.5. Hope this answer helps.
