Answer:

2 ounces of nuts are needed to make one cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

if he uses 1.4 to make 1/8 of a cake, then you need to do it 8 times to make a full cake. Multiply 1/4 * 8 which is equal to 8/4 which simplifies to 2. This is your answer!

2 ounces of nuts are needed to make one cake.

The battery on McKenzies old computer can last 4(1/5) hours. She bought a new computer that has a battery that can last 40% long

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$4\frac{1}{5}\ hours=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ hours$

$100\%+40\%=140\%=\frac{140}{100}$

Let

x ------> new battery life

The equation that represent this situation is

$x=\frac{140}{100} (\frac{21}{5})=\frac{2,940}{500}\ hours$

convert to mixed number

$\frac{2,940}{500}=\frac{2,500}{500}+\frac{440}{500}=5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

Determine if triangle ABC with coordinates A (0, 2), B (2, 5), and C (−1, 7) is an isosceles triangle. Use evidence to support y

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The coordinates of triangle ABC are

A (0, 2), B (2, 5), and C (−1, 7)

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal internal angles

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the distance AB

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(2-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{13}\ units$

step 2

Find the distance BC

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(7-5)^{2}+(-1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$dBC=\sqrt{13}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance AC

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(7-2)^{2}+(-1-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$dAC=\sqrt{26}\ units$

step 4

Compare the length sides

$dAB=\sqrt{13}\ units$

$dBC=\sqrt{13}\ units$

$dAC=\sqrt{26}\ units$

$dAB=dBC$

therefore

Is an isosceles triangle

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$(AC)^{2} =(AB)^{2}+(BC)^{2}$

substitute

$(\sqrt{26})^{2} =(\sqrt{13})^{2}+(\sqrt{13})^{2}$

$26=13+13$

$26=26$ -----> is true

therefore

Is an isosceles right triangle

Can someone please help me.

Art [367]

I will give you everything I can do:

11)

Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.

Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.

Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.

Since R*T=D

Then 3(2x+2)=270

So 2x+2=90

2x=88

x=44

12)

To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.

Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.

First find b.

5=3/2*4+b

b = -1

So the equation of this line is:

y=3/2x-1

13) All work will be shown below.

6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)

6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)

12+12x=2(3x-5)

12+12x=6x-10

6x=-2

x = -1/3

14)

First we must find the amount each train traveled.

The speed of F train(Freight train)=x

The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6

Their combined speed is 2x+6

It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles

So 2(2x+6)=100

2x+6=50

2x=44

x=22

So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.

To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.

44/2 and 56/2

Which are 22 and 28.

The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.

15) Again opposite reciprocal.

3/5 -> -5/3

Work:

-4=-3*-5/3+b

-4=5+b

b=-9

y = -5/3x-9

16)

F=kx-kx0

First kx0 = 0

So F=kx

So x=F/k

Nora and Eli are making homemade spring rolls for a party. Nora can make 8 spring rolls in 10 minutes. Eli can make 10 spring ro

devlian [24]

Eli will finish first.

Use 8/10 and 10/12. This represents how many spring rolls over how many minutes. Make your equations like this: 8/10 = 40/x and 10/12 = 40/x. Find x, which will give you the minutes it takes them to make 40 rolls.

You get x = 50 for the first one and x = 48 for the second. Nora makes 40 rolls in 50 minutes, and Eli makes 40 rolls in 48 minutes. Eli is faster.

Hope this helped! Please mark me brainliest!
