She estiamted the amount.
No she is not correct, she is incorrect. The correct answer would be that they would pay $38.40 for the item.
Step-by-step explanation:
Which question? Or all of them?
The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles
Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles
Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?
If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle
where,
n is the height
e is the base
x is the hypotenuse
Using pythagoras theorm:
(x)² = (n)² + (e)²
(x)² = (9)² + (40)²
(x)² = 1681
x = 41 miles
Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.
Divide all the ratios and compare:
8/12 = 0.666
15/10 = 1.5
2/3 = 0.666
6/9 = 0.666
The one that isn't equivalent is 15 over 10
