Answer:

$k = \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangles

Required

The scale factor

From the attachment, we have:

$TU = 4$

$QR = 20$

So, the scale factor from PQR to STU is:

$k = \frac{TU}{QR}$

$k = \frac{4}{20}$

$k = \frac{1}{5}$

Bob and Ted are in the plumbing business. Bob can do the plumbing hook-up for a new house in 4 hours; Ted does the same job in 6

Stels [109]

Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12.
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.

The perimeter of a triangle is 199 inches. If one side of the triangle is six more than the shorter side, and the longer side is

Keith_Richards [23]

Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77

the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19

substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58

then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77

7. What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3, 8) and (9, 5) ? (1 point)

agasfer [191]

7. D
8. D
9. D
10.C

for 7 & 8 you use the equation
$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$
your points are (3,8) & (9,5)

so you plug the numbers in
y2= 5
y1=8

x2=9
x1=3
you subtract them get a fraction and that is your slope

9 & 10
use the equation
$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$
plug you numbers in for y1 and x2 m is your slope plug it in and that is your equation

The length of a rectangle is 8 inches more than twice its width. The area of the rectangle is 120 square inches. How many inches

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

L = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

L = length

area = 120

W x L = 120

L - 8 = 2W then L = 2W + 8

substitute for L:

W x (2W + 8) = 120

2W² + 8W -120 = 0

(2W - 12)(W + 10) = 0

2W-12 = 0

2W = 12

W = 6

L = 20

The price of lettuce was $1.25 one week and $1.50 the next week. Find the percent of increase.

melomori [17]

So the lettuce went up by 0.25 or 25c, now, if we take 1.25 to be the 100%, how much is 0.25 in percentage off of it?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1.25&100\\
0.25&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1.25}{0.25}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{0.25\cdot 100}{1.25}$
