Answer: point F is at <u>   0.6   </u> on the number line

=============================================================

Explanation:

The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.

This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.

D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9

Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve

5x = 9

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6

Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.

Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.

Aiden and Haisem are going to eat the same amount of hamburgers and fries, but from different restaurants. Aiden goes to Burger
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

the burgers be 3 and fries be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume burgers be x

And, the fries be y

Now according to the questiojn

1.25x + 0.50y = $4.75

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

Now multiply by 1.2 in the first equation

1.50x + 0.6y = $5.70

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

-0.39y = -0.78

y = 2

Now put the value of y in any of the above equation

1.25x + 0.50(2) = $4.75

x = 3

Hence, the burgers be 3 and fries be 2

Shani borrowed $5000 at an annual interest rate of 4% compounded yearly. William borrowed the same amount of money at an annual
Natalka [10]

Answer: William will pay $ 330.76 more interest than Shani at the end of 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest = P((1+r)^t-1)<em> , </em>P= principal , r= rate of interest , t= time

Given: P = $5000 , t= 3 years

For Shani , r= 4% = 0.04

Compound interest = 5000((1+0.04)^3-1)

=5000(1.124864-1)\\\\=5000(0.124864)\\\\=\$\ 624.32

For William, r= 6%= 0.06

Compound interest = 5000((1+0.06)^3-1)

=5000(1.191016-1)\\\\=5000(0.191016)\\\\=\$\ 955.08

Difference = $ ( 955.08- 624.32)

= $ 330.76

Hence, William will pay $ 330.76 more interest than Shani at the end of 3 years.

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 + 6, so P = 22ft
