This is a proportion problem.

Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.

1/3 x = 20 inches

x = 6 2/3 inches

Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.

Check it.

6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)

20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)

60/3 = ? (divide)

20 inches. Yes, it checks.

Answer:

-1000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Do the Parenthesis problem first. (PEDMAS/PEMDAS)

You should then have -10^3

2. Solve with the exponent. (-10 x 10 x 10)

You should then get your final answer, which is -1000.

it was recently estimated that domestic vehicles out numberforegin vehicles by about six to five. if there are 2673 vehicles in

klio [65]

The question is an example of a ratio problem. This implies that

$\begin{gathered} \text{Domestic vehicles ratio=6} \\ \text{Foreign vehicles ratio=5} \\ Sum\text{ of vehicles ratio =5+6=11} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, le the number of domestic vehicles be x. We can say that;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{6}{11}=\frac{x}{2673} \\ 11x=16038 \\ x=\frac{16038}{11} \\ x=1458 \end{gathered}$

21. For the following exercises, use the descriptions of each pair of lines given below to find the slopes of Line 1 and Line 2.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The given lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, two lines are given as line 1 passes through (1,7) and (5,5). Whereas, line 2 passes through (-1,-3) and (1,1).

It is required to find the slope of given lines and figure out whether they are perpendicular, parallel or neither.

To solve this question, first find the slope of both lines. Check if their product is equal to -1, then they are perpendicular. If the slopes are equal the lines are parallel.

Step 1 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$\begin{aligned}m_{1} &=\frac{5-7}{5-1} \\m_{1} &=\frac{-2}{4} \\m_{1} &=-\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$\begin{aligned}&m_{2}=\frac{1-(-3)}{1-(-1)} \\&m_{2}=\frac{4}{2} \\&m_{2}=2\end{aligned}$

And

$\begin{aligned}&m_{1} m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}(2) \\&m_{1} m_{2}=-1\end{aligned}$

Since, both slopes are reciprocal of each other.

Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.
