Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hunter and Logan built small sand towers on the beach.

Hunter built 20 towers, and Logan built 9 towers.

Then, the ocean water came up and knocked down 6 of the towers.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many of the boys' sand towers were left standing?

<u>Solution</u>:

Number of towers made by Hunter = 20

Number of towers made by Logan = 9

Total towers made by both = 20 + 9 = 29

Number of towers knocked down by the ocean water = 6

Remaining number of towers = 29 - 6 = 23

Thus, 23 sand towers of the boys were left standing.

Translate the sentence into an inequality.<br> The sum of 3 and c is less than -29.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

3+c < -29 or c+3 < -29 because of communitive property

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the sum means addition, you could write 3+c or c+3 because addition is communitive property.

Then the sum is less than -29 so we need to use the less than symbol which is this symbol: <  

Now write the inequality! 3+c < -29

Quadrilateral KMPT is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4 to create K'M'P'T'. The perimeter of quadrilateral KMPT is x units. What
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) \frac{3}{4} x units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let quadrilateral KMPT be a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 8 units. Then its perimeter would be equal to:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b)

where: l is the length = 12 units and b is the breadth = 8 units. So that:

Perimeter of KMPT = 2 (12 + 8)

                               = 40 units

Dilating KMPT by a scale factor of \frac{3}{4} would create K'M'P'T' of dimensions; \frac{3}{4} × 12 units by \frac{3}{4} × 8 units. Thus, the dimensions of K'M'P'T' would be 9 units by 6 units.

Perimeter of K'M'P'T' = 2 (l + b)

                                  = 2(9 + 6)

                                  = 30 units

Comparing the perimeters of KMPT and K'M'P'T', the perimeter of K'M'P'T' would be  \frac{3}{4} × perimeter of KMPT.

Therefore, if the perimeter of KMPT is x units, then;

         perimeter of K'M'P'T' = \frac{3}{4} * x units

                                            = \frac{3}{4}x units

The population of a town has grown at an annual rate of 2.7%. How long does it take for it’s population of 18,450 people to doub
charle [14.2K]
It would take 26 years.

The equation will be in the form y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial population, r is the growth rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time.  Using our information we have

y = 18450(1+0.027)ˣ = 18450(1.027)ˣ

We want the population to be doubled; 18450*2 = 36900:
36900 = 18450(1.027)ˣ

Divide both sides by 18450:
36900/18450 = 18450(1.027)ˣ/18450
2 = 1.027ˣ

Using logarithms, we have
\log_{1.027}2=x&#10;\\&#10;\\x=26.017

Median = ($10,000 * 2 / 2) = $10,000

B.  He can advertise the position by emphasizing that a high initial compensation will be offered since $13,000 is greater than the previous salary offered to employees.

C. Yes, I agree because the previous salary offered was just $10,000 but now it is being increased to $13,000.
