Answer: 5/66 (I'm so sorry if this is wrong)

Step-by-step explanation: First you divide 10 and 3 3/4. 10 ÷ 3 3/4 = 0.0757575757575.

To turn that back into to a fraction, let X equal the decimal number

Equation 1:

X = 0.0757575757575 (1)

With 12 digits in the repeating decimal group,

create a second equation by multiplying

both sides by 1012 = 1000000000000

Equation 2:

1000000000000X = 75757575757.5757575757575 (2)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

1000000000000X = 75757575757.5757575757575...

X = 0.0757575757575...

999999999999X = 75757575757.5

We get

999999999999X = 75757575757.5

Solve for X

X = 75757575757.5/999999999999

Multiply to eliminate 1 decimal places.

Here you multiply top and bottom by 1 10's

= 101 = 10

75757575757.5/999999999999 × 10/10 = 757575757575/9999999999990

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 757575757575 and 9999999999990, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 151515151515,

757575757575/9999999999990 ÷ 151515151515/151515151515 = 5/66

Therefore

X = 5/66

In conclusion,

0.0757575757575 = 5/66

In ACDE, M C = 30° and mZE = 50°. In AFGH, m_G = 100° and m_H = 50°. Are the triangles congruent? If so,
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

No, triangles CDE and HGF are not necessarily congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that just having one angle equal in value doesn't make the triangles congruent. To start with, we know that the three internal angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees, but all we know when one is 50 degrees, the other two must add up to 130 degrees, which can be done by an infinite number of different angle combinations: 110 + 20, 90 + 40, 80 + 50, etc.

It takes Emily for a minute to drive to a football game it takes Mark 1 hour and 15 minutes longer how many minutes does it take
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

76 minutes

The computation is shown below:

Since mark would take 1 hour and 15 minutes i.e. 60 + 15 = 75 minutes

And, emily takes for a minute = 1 minute

So, the number of minutes taken by Mars to drive is

= 75  + 1

= 76 minutes
