Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an expression to model the situation. One can do this by simply rewriting the written expression in terms of numbers and variables. Use the variable (x) to represent the unknown value.

$5(x)=\frac{1}{3}(64+56)$

Simplify this expression,

$5(x)=\frac{1}{3}(64+56)\\5x=\frac{1}{3}(120)\\5x=40\\$

Use inverse operations to solve for (x),

$5x=40\\x=8$

Sati [7]

Answer:

a. True

b. False

c. True

d. False

Step-by-step explanation:

a. True

Where, there are three straight lines intersecting one another, and whereby the sum of the interior angles formed between one of the straight lines and the other two is less than 180°, then the other two straight lines will cross if extended further on the same side of the figure where the sum of the intersecting angles between the lines was found to be less than 180°.

The converse statements is that

If three lines are drawn with two of the lines converging, then the third line can be drawn such that the sum of the interior angles between it and the other two lines is less than 180°

The contrapositive statements is that

If the sum of the interior angles between a first line and the other two lines is equal to 180° then the other two lines will not meet

b. False.

The answer is false is false because,

The length of the sides of the square must be equal

The interior angles of the square must also be equal

c. True

From Postulate 1, the sum of two adjacent angles on one side of the two intersecting lines is equal to 180°. So also on the other side of the intersection, the sum of the adjacent angles is equal to 180.

Therefore, we have

180° + 180° = 360°

The converse statements is that

If two lines meet at a point then the sum of angles at the point is 360°

The contrapositive statements is that

If the two lines do not meet, then the sum of angles on each line is 180°

d. False

A parallel line can be drawn from any point not on the line.

A shop sells chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream cones. In one day, 45% of the ice cream cones sold are vanilla and 17%

True [87]

Answer:

950

Step-by-step explanation:

As, 45% will be vanilla, and 17% will be strawberry

So chocolate will be = 38%

As, 45%+17%+38% = 100%

So 38% of 2,500 = chocolate cones

= 38/100 x 2,500 = 950

So the number chocolate ice cream cone sold is 950.

Based on the graph, what is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly trav

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

<h2>The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, the dependent variable is Distance in miles, because it's on the vertical axis. Additionally, the independent variable is time in hours, because it's on the horizontal axis. However, you always put time as independent, because nothing affects time.

To find the equation, we just need to find the slope, using two points (0,0) and (2,40).

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{40-0}{2-0}=20$

Therefore, the equation is $y=20x$ , which shows a direct proportion between variables.

Now, in 24 hours, it would travel

$y=20(24)=480$

It would travel 480 miles.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

Can jack built 1/5 of a shed in the same time that kyle can build 5/8 of shed,

Helen [10]

<h3>Answer: 3/10 of a shed</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's say the shed comes in 40 equal pieces. Each piece takes the same amount of time to assemble. Why am I picking 40? Because 8*5 = 40.

This will allow us to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.

1/5 = 8/40 .... multiply top and bottom by 8
5/8 = 25/40 .... multiply top and bottom by 5

So Jack can build 8/40 of the shed in the same amount of time Kyle can build 25/40 of the shed.

Instead of writing fractions (which honestly are a pain to deal with), I'm going to write "8 pieces" and "25 pieces" to represent "8/40" and "25/40" respectively. Just keep in mind that there are 40 pieces total.

So again, Jack can assemble 8 pieces in the time it takes Kyle to assemble 25 pieces.

---------------

The ultimate goal is to have Kyle assemble 40 pieces while Jack puts together some unknown number of pieces (some number between 8 and 40). Let's say it's x.

We can then form this proportion

$\frac{\text{Jack's initial 8 pieces}}{\text{x pieces}}=\frac{\text{Kyle's initial 25 pieces}}{\text{goal of 40 pieces}}$

which simplifies or cleans up to

5/x = 25/40

-----------------

Let's solve for x using cross multiplication

8/x = 25/40

8*40 = x*25

320 = 25x

25x = 320

x = 320/25

x = 12.8

So in the time it takes Kyle to assemble all 40 pieces, Jack can put together 12.8 pieces of the shed. However, we can't have Jack put together some fractional piece, because each "piece" is as small as it gets. We can't get any smaller. It would be like saying a fractional part of an atom or a lego block.

So we'll round 12.8 down to 12.

Jack can assemble 12 pieces in the time it takes Kyle to assemble 40 pieces.

Let's then convert this back to fraction form

12 pieces = 12/40 of a shed = 3/10 of a shed.
