Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pencils that Jackson has be represented by x.

Since 20% of his pencils are broken which equals 4. This can be written and represented in an equation as:

20% of x = 4

20/100 × x = 4

0.2x = 4

x = 4/0.2

x = 20

There are a total of 20 pencils

Answer:

The measure of angle f is 61°

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180° meaning;

180 - 98 = 82

82 is the angle measure of the unlabeled angle.

All triangles angles add up to 180° meaning;

37 + 82 = 119

if Raleigh to Cleveland = 585 miles then Cleveland to Raleigh = 585 miles

585 miles + 585 miles = 1170 miles

1170 miles / 18 hours = 65 miles / hour
