Answer:
The area of LQM is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Area of PNQ = 8
Area of LPQ = 16
See attachment for triangles
The area of PNQ is calculated as:

Substitute 8 for Area


The area of LPQ is calculated as:

Substitute 16 for Area

From the attachment:

Make LP the subject

So:

We have:
and 
Equate both expressions:

Divide both sides by PQ

Multiply both sides by 2


Since PNQ is similar to LNM, the following equivalent ratios exist:

Substitute 



Area of LQM is:

This gives:


Recall that:

So:


45. These word problems often seem to be two equations in two unknowns, here <em>h</em> for hits and <em>m</em> for misses.
"After 30 tries" translates into

+5 for a hit, -10 for a miss, John lost 90 translates to

We have





Answer: 14
Check: 5(14)-10(16)=-90, good
46. We have to make the odd assumption the grocer sells for his cost, but let's not beat up the question too hard.
Again, two unknowns, <em>b</em> kilograms of Brazil nuts and <em>c</em> kilograms of cashews.
<em>... sold 12 kg of the mixture ...</em>

<em>... cashews $8/kg and Brazil nuts $10/kg and the results is $8.50/kg ...</em>
This one's a bit more involved to translate because we have to recognize the total price is the 8.50 per kg times 12 kg.

The solving is pretty much just like the last one; we eliminate the unknown we're not asked for.




Answer: 9
Check: (9(8)+10(3))/12=102/12 = 8.50 good
Answer:
feet/million year
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Elevation of top of basalt in valley =4100 feet
Elevation of bottom of basalt in valley =2100 feet
Age of top of basalt in valley=15000 years
Age of bottom of basalt in valley=1.2 million years=
We have to find the rate of basalt filling in the valley in feet per million yeas
Rate of basalt filling in the valley=
Rate of basalt filling in the valley=
Rate of basalt filling in the valley=
feet/million year
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Function 1
Find the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (-5 -3) /(3 - -1)
= ( -5-3)/(3+1)
= -8/4
= -2
Function 2
Using the points (0,4) and (-1,0)
m = ( y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
m = ( 0-4)/(-1-0)
= -4/-1
= 4
The function with the greater rate of change is function 2
