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

Anarel [89]

Answer:

220 N * m or 220 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the work formula would be the applied force multiplied by the distance traveled, that is:

W = F * d

In this case the F is 200 N and the distance is 1.1 meters, therefore we replace:

W = 200 * 1.1

W = 220 N * m = 220 J

Therefore the work carried out by Clarissa and her mom is 200 joules.

Use the figure to determine the intersection of planes EAB and EFG
vredina [299]

Answer:

Option (3). EF

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Plane defined by EAB can be represented by the face EABF of the square prism also.

Similarly, plane EFG can be represented by the face EFGH of the prism.

Now these sides EABF and EFGH are joining each other at the edge EF of the cuboid.

Therefore, intersection of the given planes is EF.

Option (3) will be the answer.
