Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6+7=13

6:7=13

x:28

28/7=4

so you have to multiply by 4

4x6=24

24 boys and 28 girls

24+28=52

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets put the ratio like this: 6x (boys) : 7x (girls)

because we know that the amount of girls is 28 we can set them equal as so:

7x = 28

÷ divide both sides by 7

x = 4

now add 6x + 7x to get the total people = 13x and because x equals 4, we can multiply 13 by 4. Which is 52

15/6=2.5 which is the scale factor since they are similar triangles. We divide each side of the large triangle by 2.5 to get the sides for the small triangle since they are similar. 20/2.5=8cm
25/2.5=10cm

For the second problem, you put 15/6 and set in equal to x/8 when you cross multiply you get 6x=120 then you divide x=20

For the last problem, you divide 43,75 by 5 then multiply it by 400 to get the kiloliters which equals 3,500.

A bicycle rider increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds

valentina_108 [34]

To find the acceleration of the bicycle rider, we are going to use the acceleration formula: $a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$
where
$a$ is the acceleration
$v_{i}$ is the initial speed
$v_{f}$ is the final speed
$t$ is the time

We know from our problem that increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds, so his initial speed is 5 m/s and his final speed is 15 m/s; therefore, $v_{i}=5$ , $v_{f}=15$ , and $t=10$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$
$a= \frac{15-5}{10}$
$a= \frac{10}{10}$
$a=1$

We can conclude that the acceleration of the bicycle rider 1 m/s^2

The equation of line g is y = -2x + 4. Parallel to line g is line h, which passes through the

adell [148]

Equation of line h is y=-2x-1

Slope is -2 (because it’s parallel)

so you have y=-2x+a

now you have to plug in the points it needs to pass through -9=-2(4)+a

do -2(4)

isolate a so then you would add the -8 to the other side

do the math of -9-(-8)

that’s how you get y=-2x-1
