Answer:

Here are the steps I think you probably will go through.

1. Draw a line that is longer than the segment but shorter than the width of the page.

1a. Make sure this line is at least 1/2 inch from the left hand side.

2. Use a compass to measure the length of the original segment. Never use a ruler. Rulers do not exist in pure geometry.

3. Measure out the distance on the line you just drew with the compass. One end is on the left hand edge and the other end (the pencil end) is marking the segment so it is the same length as the compass. You are done.

The key step either two or three.

The scoop of an excavator holds 27 ft3 of sand. If the capacity of a freight car is 40 tons of sand and we know that 1 ft3 of sa

kozerog [31]

27ft³=x tons
1ft³=0.5 tons

$\frac{27cubicfeet}{x_t_o_n_s} = \frac{1cubic foot}{0.5 tons}$

Cross multiply
1x=13.5tons
x=13.5tons

So one scoop/load carries 13.5 tons of sand. Lets see how many 120 loads can carry.

13.5tons*120loads=1620 tons of sand

Now lets see how freight cars it would take to hold 1620 tons of sand

1620/40=40.5 freight cars

Since you can't have .5 of a freight car, lets round 40.5 up to 41

Answer=41 freight cars

The only thing you need to do is 'cross-multiply'

Take the top of fraction 1 and multiply it to the bottom of fraction 2, and take the bottom of fraction 1 and multiply it to the top of fraction 2.

Then you will get a nice and easy equation to solve!

Lydia earned $9.75 per hour last summer. She worked 25 hours a week. About how much did she earn in 10 weeks.

Goryan [66]

Well $9.75 times 25 hours is $243.75.

Then you take that and multiply it by 10.

So she earned $2,437.5

The annual interest rate of Mike's savings account is 4.8%, and simple interest is calculated monthly. What is the periodic inte

Reptile [31]

The correct option will be: d. 0.4%

For finding the periodic interest rate , we need to divide the annual interest rate by the number of times interest calculated in a year.

Here, the simple interest is calculated monthly, that means the number of times interest calculated in a year will be 12.

Annual interest rate is 4.8%

So, the periodic interest rate = $\frac{4.8}{12}= 0.4$ %

Train a leaves new york at 9am eastern time on monday, headed for los angeles at a constant rate of 40 miles per hour. on the sa

nlexa [21]

We can assume that B leaves Los Angeles not at noon but at 2pm Eastern Time, so 5 hours later than A leaves New York.

In 5 hours A covers 5*40=200 miles. So, A and B together should cover 3,000-200=2,800 miles.

Combined rate = 40 + 60 = 100 miles per hour.

To cover 2,800 miles they'll need 2,800/100=28 hours.

2pm Eastern Time on Monday + 28 hours = 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.

Answer: 6:00pm on Tuesday
