Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Context for variables

sw: number of sweaters

j: number of jeans  

sk: number of skirts

The following three equations are established from the question:

sw + j + sk = 120

sw/j = 8/3

j/sk = 3/4 or sk/j = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by j, we get:

sw/j + j/j + sk/j = 120/j

8/3 + 1 + 4/3 = 120/j

5 = 120/j

j = 120/5 = 24

sw = 24*8/3 = 64

sk = 24*4/3 = 32

After the replacement the new number of jeans and skirts are:

j' = 24 - 4 = 20

sk' =  32 + 4 = 36

the new ratio of jeans to skirts is:

j'/sk' = 20/36 = 5/9

Given that triangle ABC is a right triangle, select a set of possible side length measures.
ad-work [718]

You didn't supply any rules or constraints so.... 1 in., 1 in., and 1 in.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if the side lengths are appropriate.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1^2 + 1^2 = 1^2 –this is true.

Please help please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Linear

The function is linear since the graph of it would be a straight line. You can tell this by looking at the equation since there are no squares, roots, division, etc. that would make the line stray.
