Answer:

To make a gallons,

Ms. O'Brien needs

12 8/10 cups of water or 12.8 cups of water

3 1/5 cups of water or 3.2 cups of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. O'Brien makes her own cleaning solution to clean her floors! (yet, she can't clean her measuring cups?)

She mixes 8 cups of water with 2 cups of vinegar.

Hence: The total number of cups for the cleaning mixture = 8 cups of water + 2 cups of vinegar = 10 cups

If she wants to make a 1 gallon mixture of her cleaning solution, how much water and how much vinegar should she add?

Note that: There are 16 cups in a gallon

Hence:

For number of cups of water:

10 cups of cleaning mixture = 8 cups of water

16 cups of cleaning mixture = x

Cross Multiply

10x = 16 × 8

x = 16 × 8/10

x = 12 8/10 cups of water or 12.8 cups of water

For the number of cups of vinegar

10 cups of cleaning mixture = 2 cups of water

16 cups of cleaning mixture = x

Cross Multiply

10x = 16 × 2

x = 16 × 2/10

x = 3 1/5 cups of water or 3.2 cups of vinegar

Therefore, to make a gallon

Ms. O'Brien needs

12 8/10 cups of water or 12.8 cups of water

3 1/5 cups of water or 3.2 cups of vinegar

Leona [35]

Answer:

A' =(-y,x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent point A as thus;

A = (x,y)

Required

Determine the new position of A, when rotated counterclockwise

The new position will be denoted as A'

When a point is rotated counterclockwise, we start by switching the positions of x and y as follows:

Pos = (y,x)

Then, y is negated to give A'

A' =(-y,x)

M<ABC = m<EBD = 36 (vertical angles)

78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180 (straight angle)

Now solve for x

78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180
2x + 68 = 180
     -  68     -68 (subtract 68 on both sides)
2x        =  58
  x        =  29
