Mathematics
1 answer:
adelina 88 [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the ratio as

7x : 9x

If you add all the states that border an ocean and do not, you will get 48 states (because Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the continental US, as they do not touch the "main" part of the country)

So, we can write this equation.

7x + 9x = 48

Simplify.

16x = 48

Divide both sides by 16.

x = 4

Now, find how many states border an ocean. In our ratio, the number of states that border an ocean was 7x. Substitute x = 4 into 7x

7 * x = 7 * 4 = 28

The number of states that border an ocean is 28.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

Sergio [31]

Let

x-------> the number of fiction books

y-------> the number of nonfiction books.

we know that

x+y=26 -----> equation 1

x=y+12

x-y=12 -----> equation 2

Add equation 1 and equation 2

x+y=26\\x-y=12\\ ------\\ 2x=38\\ x=38/2\\x=19\ fiction\ books

<u>find the value of y</u>

x+y=26

19+y=26

y=26-19=7\ nonfiction\ books

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

Part a)  the number of fiction books is 19\ fiction\ books

Part b)  the number of nonfiction books is 7\ nonfiction\ books

39an angle measures 76° less than the measure of a complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?
torisob [31]

Answer:

14 ° and 76 °

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that two angles are complementary, if the sum of their amplitudes is 90 °.

The complementary angles need not be consecutive or have any point in common.

Alpha and Beta are complementary if:

Alpha + Beta = 90 °

In this case it would be:

X - 76 ° = 90 °

X = 90 ° - 76 °

X = 14 °

Which means that each angle measures 14 ° and 76 °

Let the initial number of girls be x, this represents 40% of the dancers.
Total number of dancers will therefore be:
100/40*x=2.5x
When 15 more girls joined, the new number of girls was:
x+15 this represents the total percentage of 52%. The new number of dancers became:
2.5x+15:
therefore the new percentage of girls can be expressed as follows:
(new number of girls)/(new number of dancers)×100
(x+15)/(2.5x+15)×100=52
(x+15)/(2.5x+15)=0.52
x+15=0.52(2.5x+15)
x+15=1.3x+7.8
15-7.8=1.3x-x
7.2=0.3x
x=7.2/0.3=24
The number of students after additional number of girls will be:
2.5x+15
=2.5×24+15
=60+15
=75 students

The equation for the volume of a pyramid is (l*w*h)/3
 
 since the problem gave you the base area, that would be the l *w

so now you would need to multiply the base area by the height, then divide by 3

16 * 15 = 240

240/ = 80 cubic centimeters
