Answer:

John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:

3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.

Let's solve for x!

5.5x=46.75

x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5

John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.

To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.

8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ever have a calculator by your side remember that a percentage is just a decimal moved two digits to the left. So in this case, the equation is just 757•0.4. Sorry, however, I do not know what you're asking at the top part.

Bridget takes a 5-inch by 4-inch rectangle of fabric and cuts from one corner of the piece of fabric to the diagonally opposite

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Perimeter of each triangles are equivalent to 15.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle :

Length of the rectangle = 5 inches

Width of the rectangle =4 inches

As Bridget cuts it from one corner to the other corner,its forms two right angled triangle.

The diagonal will be treated as the hypotenuse.

Lets say that the length of the hypotenuse is 'x'.

Using Pythagoras formula:

⇒ $(hypotenuse) = \sqrt{(perpendicular)^2+(base)^2}$

Plugging the values:

⇒ $hypotenuse = \sqrt{5^2+4^2}$

⇒ $hypotenuse = \sqrt{25+16}$

⇒ $hypotenuse =\sqrt{41}$

⇒ $hypotenuse = 6.40$ inches

Now we have to find the perimeter :

Perimeter = Summation of length of all sides.

So,

Perimeter of each triangle = (length + width + hypotenuse)

⇒ $Perimeter =(5+4+6.4)$

⇒ $Perimeter =15.4$ inches

Perimeter of each triangle, as they are equally sized are same that is 15.4 inches.
