Answer:

1) (1 1/2)(7/5) = g

2) (1 1/2)/(5/7) = g

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Tyler has painted 5/7 of the 7/7 of the fence. So the total amount of the fence is (7/7)/(5/7) = 7/5 as much as what was already painted.

The total amount of paint needed is then 7/5 the amount already used:

g = (7/5)(1 1/2) . . . . . gallons of paint needed for the whole fence

2) If g gallons are required for the whole fence, the amount used so far for 5/7 of the fence is 5/7 of the quantity required:

(5/7)g = 1 1/2

g = (1 1/2)/(5/7) . . . . division expression for the paint needed

In △PQR, find the measure of ∡P. (A)30.4° (B)59.6° (C)35.9° (D)54.1°

Kobotan [32]

ANSWER

(D)54.1°

EXPLANATION

The measure of angle P can be calculated using the cosine ratio.

We know the adjacent side to angle P to be 33.8 and the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 57.6 units.

$\cos(P) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos(P) = \frac{33.8}{57.6}$

Take cosine inverse,

$P= \cos ^{ - 1} (\frac{33.8}{57.6} )$

$P=54.07 \degree$

To the nearest tenth, the measure of <P is 54.1°

erik drove 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons of gas. To the nearest hundredth, how many miles could he drive on 39.7 gallons of gas?

zaharov [31]

First you divide 439.92 by 15.6 and you get 28.2 which is how many miles per gallon that you are getting. Then you take 28.2 and multiply it by how many gallons that it says (39.7) The final answer is 1119.54

What is 2 radical 15 squared

aleksandrvk [35]

$2\sqrt{15^2}=2\cdot15=30\\\\\\2\sqrt{15^2}=2\cdot\left(15^2\right)^\frac{1}{2}=2\cdot15^{2\cdot\frac{1}{2}}=2\cdot15=30$

$\left(2\sqrt{15}\right)^2=2^2\cdot\left(\sqrt{15}\right)^2=4\cdot15=60\\\\\left(2\sqrt{15}\right)^2=2^2\cdot\left(\sqrt{15}\right)^2=4\cdot\left(15^\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=4\cdot15^{\frac{1}{2}\cdot2}=4\cdot15^1=4\cdot15=60$

Pls help and show workings

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

same thing. here's my work:

4x - 5 = 3x + 10

4x - 5 (+ 5) = 3x + 10 (+ 5)

4x = 3x + 15

4x (- 3x) = 3x (- 3x) + 15

x = 15
