Answer:

Peter swam 12 hours, Pam swam 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam = x

Peter = y

y = 2x (this is because Peter swam twice as much)

y + x = 18 (this is because they both swam a total of 18 hours)

2x + x = 18 (substitute for y)

3x = 18

x = 6 (pam)

Now, I just need to substitute x = 6 into original equation.

y = 2(6)

y = 12 (peter)

Answer:

Peter- 12 hours

Pam- 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up an an equation.

P = Peter

18= P + (P/2)

Solve.

36=2P+p

36=3P

P=12

Peter swam 12 hours.

Then 18-12= 6, Pam's number of hours.

melisa1 [442]
The answer is C. Because it takes 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 atoms to decay. It says that 50% of the carbon atoms have decayed so that means that 5730 years have elapsed for that fossil.

I hope that helps.

If a dart board was thrown randomly at the dartboard shown below, what is the probability that it will land in the bull’s-eye? T
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Correct option: C -> 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this probability we just need to divide the area of the bull's-eye circle by the total area of the outer circle.

The area of a circle is given by the equation:

area = \pi * radius^2

The outer radius is 14 cm, so:

outer\ area = \pi * 14^2 = 196\pi\ cm^2

The inner radius is 2 cm, so:

inner\ area = \pi * 2^2 = 4\pi\ cm^2

So the probability is:

inner\ area / outer\ area = 4\pi / 196\pi = 0.02 = 2\%

Correct option: C

please help me answer this please! I need it fast I need all three of these answers and please show your work! Thank you very mu

15. In a similar figure the sides are proportional. So you have to say which ratio of sides is also proportional or which sides are equal to the fraction 44/35.2

it would be c because :
44/35.2 = 132/105.6

16. same thing with similar triangles. if the length of sides are similar then so is perimeter. So so we find the ratio of the side lengths. We we know sq is 6 and qt is 24. So st is 30. So so the line st and sq are matching and similar so we compare their lengths and get a ratio
sq * x = st
6 * x = 30
x = 5

So so the perimeter is 5 times more than small triangle so
5 * 20 = 100

17.similar side is 0.5 and 3.6 so ratio is 3.6/0.5. we know she is 1.8 talk so
1.8 * 3.6/0.5 = 12.96

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -2) and has a <br> slope of -22
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: the answer is y=-22x+86

here is why:

the slope is -22 which is the m --> y=mx+b the point is (4,-2) the x=4 and y= =2

If we set up the equation:

-2= -22(4)+86

-2= -88+86

-2= -2
