Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is hypotenuse and a and b are the legs

we need to find a^2 so

a^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

a^22 + 256 = 400

then subtract 256 from 400

a^2 = 144

square root 144

= 12

Stolb23 [73]

I have no idea about the part A, but part b, all you have to do is get all the numbers of the fans, and put them in least to greatest. Then you count how fans are from 0-9, then you count how much fans are from 10 - 19, and so on. Im sorry that i couldn't answer it completely but i hope this helps.

Four students are running for class president: liz, sam, sue, and tom. the probabilities of sam, sue, and tom winning are 7⁄25 ,
Natali5045456 [20]
First, we need to convert all the fractions to have the same denominator. 10 and 25 are both multiples of 100, so 100 would be appropriate. 

Sam has a 7/25 chance. Because we want ?/100, something needs to change. To get from 25 to 100, you need to times 25 by 4, right? So, do the same with the 7.
7 x 4 = 28. Therefore Sam has a 28/100 chance.

Sue has 3/10. Using the same method, we can see that 3 needs to be multiplied by 10 (because 10 times 10 = 100). So Sue has a 30/100 chance.

Tom is already in the fraction we like, so just keep this as 21/100. 

Now, add 28/100, 30/100 and 21/100 to get 79/100. 

Because won of them will get the role of class president, we know that the probability adds to 1. To get a full probability (100/100, or 1), what needs to be added to 79/100? 

Another way of going about this is 100/100-79/100. The answer is 21/100

The probability of Liz winning is 21/100. 

Let me know if this is still unclear, I would be more than happy to explain in more detail if necessary :)

Andrea bought 1 2/5 pounds of avocados at $4.20 per pound and ​ 2 1/
guapka [62]

Answer:

$14.43¢

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given; 1\frac{2}{5} pounds, 1 pound = $4.20 and 2\frac{1}{4} pounds,1 pound = $3.80 that Andrea bought.

Now we need to find her total cost. To do that, we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert 1\frac{2}{5} to a decimal. It is 1.4. Now we can set up a graph.

<u>Avocados</u>

\frac{4.2}{1}=\frac{x}{1.4}

Switch sides

\frac{x}{1.4}=\frac{4.2}{1}

Apply rule: \frac{a}{1}=a

\frac{x}{1.4}=4.2

Multiply both sides by 1.4

\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=4.2\cdot \:1.4

Simplify

x=5.88

So, her cost for avocados is $5.88¢

Now we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert 2\frac{1}{4} to a decimal. It is 2.25. Now we can set up a graph.

<u>Asparagus</u>

\frac{3.8}{1}=\frac{x}{2.25}

Switch sides

\frac{x}{2.25}=\frac{3.8}{1}

Apply rule : \frac{a}{1}=a

\frac{x}{2.25}=3.8

Multiply both sides by 2.25

\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=3.8\cdot \:2.25

Simplify

x=8.55

So, her cost for asparagus is $8.55¢

<u>Total cost</u>

Now that we have found out how much both of the fruits Andrea bought costs, we need to sum it up (meaning add it) to find the total cost:

$5.88¢ + 8.55¢ =

5.88 + 8.55 = 14.43

Therefore, Andrea's total cost of the fruits is $14.43¢
