6 0

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Truck:car

6:2 or simplified to 3:1, which means 3 trucks for every 1 car.

24 trucks divided by 3 gives you 8.

Answer:

8 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion to model this situation. First, write and simplify the given proportion.

trucks to cars;

6 : 2

Simplify,

3 : 1

Assuming that the rate at which trucks and cars are present in the parking lot is constant, one can make the expression,

trucks : cars

3 : 1 = 24 : x

Where (x) represents the unknown amount of cars. One can use cross products to solve this proportion,

3 : 1 = 24 : x

24 = 3x

Inverse operations,

24 = 3x

8 = x

Fine the exact distance between the line 6x-y=-3 and the point (6,2). Show your work. Explain your answer.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$\sqrt{37}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a perpendicular from point (6,2) on the line 6x - y = - 3, then we have to find the length of the perpendicular.

We know the formula of length of perpendicular from a point $(x_{1}, y_{1} )$ to the straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by

$\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} +c |}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$

Therefore, in our case the perpendicular distance is

$\frac{|6(6)-2+3|}{\sqrt{6^{2} +(-1)^{2} } } = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } = \sqrt{37}$ units. (Answer)

Which of these is NOT an integer

Tema [17]

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

Option A

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Option A:}}\\\\3^{-5}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{3^5}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{243}\\\\\ \text{This is \textbf{NOT} an integer.}}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Option B:}}\\\\-3^5\\\\\rightarrow -3 * -3 * -3 * -3 * -3 \\\\\rightarrow \boxed{-243}\\\\\\\text{This \textbf{IS} an integer.}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Option C:}}\\\\\frac{1}{3}^{-5} \\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{(\frac{1}{3})^5}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{\frac{1}{243} }\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{243}\\\\\\\text{This \textbf{IS} an integer.}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\text{Option \textbf{A} does not simplify into an integer.}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻
