5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = 100

So now

Let the other number be x then

$\frac{5}{7} = \frac{100}{x} \\ 700 = 5x \\ x = \frac{700}{5} \\ x = 140$

Billy thinks of a number that is not zero.

ELEN [110]

The answer could be negative or positive. We are not given specific as to whether or not the starting number is positive or negative so therefore it could be either.
Hope this is helpful :)

An Olympic diver jumps off of a platform that is 10 meters high. The diver goes 2 meters underwater after a dive. How far is it

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

12 meters far.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question translates to 10+2. The word problem states that the height of the platform is 10 meters. That means we can say that he'd have already traveled 10 meters down when he dived. And the problem also states that the diver goes two meters under the water, meaning that he had traveled 2 meters, in addition to the 10 meters. And so, we add the 10 and 2 to get 12 meters in total.

Does the point (0,4) make either equations y=-2x and y=x+3 true? Explain.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify, we substitute the values in the equations:

$y = -2x\\y = -2 \times 0\\y = 0$

however, the value should be 4. Hence this equation does not satisfy the co-ordinate.

$y = x+3\\y= 0+3\\y = 3$

however, the value should be 4. Hence this equation does not satisfy the co-ordinate.

There is an ice cream and candy shop next door that is the same size as your bakery. How many thirtieths of the space does it ta

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

135,000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached photo.

<u>We need to know the size of your bakery store. </u>

As we can see, the entire shopping center is: 45000 square feet and your shop is 1/10 of that space

=> Your shop area is: 45000*1/10 = 4500 square feet

In the question, they want to know how many thirtieths of the space does it take up, so let say thirtieths in numerical is: 1/30

Hence, the number of thirtieths it takes:

$\frac{Area}{Thirtieths}$ = $\frac{4500}{\frac{1}{30} }$ = 135,000 times

Hope it will find you well.
