Answer:

$140

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Monthly Budget for Landscaping=$400

and the Percentage of Landscaping Budget Spent this Month=35%

The Amount Spent on Landscaping=35% of Total Landscaping Budget

=35 percent of $400

Recall that percentage is always over 100, therefore 35%=35/100

=\frac{35}{100}X400

=$140

The homeowner spent $140 on landscaping this month.

Answer:

$260 was spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main problem is about proportion, specifically direct proportion.

$400 is the total budget, wich means is 100% of the budget.

They spent 35%, so we need to substract the amount of spent budget to total budget, in order to know how much was spent, we will call it remaining budget:

<em>total budget=100%</em>

<em>spent budget=35%</em>

<em>remaining budget=total budget - spent budget </em>

<em>remaining budget= 100% - 35% = 65%</em>

<em>remaining budget= %65</em>

As a result of the substraction we have the   percentage of remaining budget, 65%. The next step is to transform that percentage into an amount of money.   To do that we use the Mathematical Rule of Three.

The Rule of Three is a method to solve direct proportion problems, when we have three quantities related to each other. For this case %100 equals $400 and %65 equals to unknown, that's the cuantitie we want to know, that is, remaining budget, as shown below:

<em>%100  -> $400</em>

<em>%65 -> x</em>

On a general form it could be understood as a relation between a-b and c-x:

<em>a -> b</em>

<em>c -> x</em>

Next we will apply the following formula

<em>[tex]x= \frac{c*b}{a} [\tex]</em>

For this case:

<em />

<em>[tex]x= \frac{65*400}{100}  [\tex]</em>

<em>[tex]x= $260[\tex]</em>

<u> The remaining budget is $260</u>

A red die is tossed and then a green dieis tossed. What is the probability thatthe red die shows a six or the green dieshows a s
mr_godi [17]

Let's call the event of the red die to show a six as event A, and the event of the green die to show a six as event B.

The theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. On both dices, we have 6 possible outcomes(the numbers from 1 to 6), with one favourable outcome(the number 6), therefore, the probabilities of those events are:

P(A)=P(B)=\frac{1}{6}

Each roll is independent from each other, then, the probability of both events happening simultaneously is given by their product:

P(A\:and\:B)=P(A)P(B)

Using the additive rule of probability, we have the following equation for our problem:

\begin{gathered} P(A\:or\:B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\:and\:B) \\ =P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B) \\ =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{6^2} \\ =\frac{2}{6}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12}{36}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12-1}{36} \\ =\frac{11}{36} \end{gathered}

the probability that the red die shows a six or the green die shows a six is 11/36.

The function f(x) = 7x + 1 is transformed to function g through a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/3. What is the equatio
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is "3".

Step-by-step explanation:

If the compression factor of 3 is modified, the k value is 3 For a function f(x) the horizontal extending or compression is provided by g = f (bx)

Here b is constant. Where b is constant.

If b> 0, the function graph is condensed. The fact that perhaps the function is transformed by an encoding factor of 3 is given in the question.

\to f(x)=7^x+1\\\\\to g=f(b(x))

Hello please help i’ll give brainliest
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

None. The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth’s mantle below the crust.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth’s crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth’s crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth’s mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement. The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years (Fig. 7.18). The presence of the same type of fossils on continents that are now widely separated is evidence that continents have moved over geological history.

17. Find the length of the midsegment XY.

Xy = 12 because if you look at the pattern the top one is 16 and the bottom one is 8 so the middle of those would be 12.
