Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that angle NRQ is 78 degrees
we can see from the figure that the sum of the given angles is angle NRQ
so
(8x + 7) + (4x - 1) = 78
12x + 6 = 78
12x = 72
x = 6
Now, we have to find angle PRQ
replacing x with 6 in the equation of angle PRQ
PRQ = 4(6) - 1
PRQ = 23
Answer:
1/4 of an hour, or 60/4=15, 15 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
24/1=6/x
cross product
1*6=24*x
6=24x
x=6/24
x=1/4
Answer:
Let p represent the # of pages in the book. Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.
If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night. If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.
How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night? Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."
If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:
First night: 28%
Second night: 28%
Third night: 28%
Total: 3(28%) = 84%
This leaves 16% to read on the final night.
This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.
The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.
