Answer:

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply the question a little by finding what percent of the original Wesley is currently reading. Instead of saying 65% fewer, we can say he is reading 35% of what he used to read

Now we need to set up a proportion to solve the problem.

35% of 20

35/100=x/20

Cross multiply

35x20=700

700/100=7

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

Answer:

  D.  $2071.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The table tells you that Bob's monthly payment on a 4-year loan at 6.5% will be $23.71 per thousand borrowed. The sum of those 48 payments is ...

  48 × $23.71 = $1138.08

That means, Bob pays $138.08 in total finance charge for each $1000 he borrows. He is borrowing 15 times $1000, so his total finance charge will be ...

  finance charge = 15 × $138.08 = $2071.20 . . . matches choice D

Answer:

22, 29, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern to find the next number in the sequence. The sequence is taking the previous number and adding the number it is in the sequence.

Notice how the first number being added is the number of the previous sum and the second number being added is always increasing by one

1+0=1

1+1=2

2+2=4

4+3=7

7+4=11

11+5=16

16+6=22

22+7=29

29+8=37

22, 29, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The height of the sail on a boat is 7 feet less than 3 times the length of its base.

Let the length of the base is x.

ATQ,

Height = (3x-7)

Area of the sail is 68 square feet.

Formula for area is given by :

[tex]A=lb\\\\68=x(3x-7)\\\\3x^2-7x=68\\\\3x^2-7x-68=0[/tex]

x = 8 feet and x = -3.73 feet

So, length is 8 feet

Height is 3(8)-7 = 17 feet.

So, its height and the length of the base is 17 feet and 8 feet respectively.

Answer:

Man's present age: 32 years

Older son's present age: 8 years

Younger sons present age: 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their present ages be represented by:

Man = a

Older boy = b

Younger boy = c

A man has two sons, one twice as old as the other:

b = 2 × c

b = 2c......... Equation 1

The man is four times as old as the older boy:

a = 4 × b

a = 4b.......Equation 2

In three years he will be five times as old as the younger boy:

a + 3 = 5 (c + 3)

a + 3 = 5c + 15........Equation 3

Since b = 2c and a = 4b

Subtitute 2c for b in Equation 2

a = 4b

a = 4 × 2c

a = 8c

Subtitute 8c for a in Equation 3

a + 3 = 5c........Equation 3

8c + 3 = 5c + 15

Collect like terms

8c - 5c = 15 - 3

3c = 12

c = 4

Therefore since c, represents the present age of the younger son, the younger son is 4 years old

b = 2c

b = 2 × 4

b = 8

Since b is the present age of the older son, the older son is 8 years old

a = 4b

b = 8

a = 4 × 8

a = 32

Since a is the present age of the man, the man is 32 years old

Therefore,

Man's present age: 32 years

Older son's present age: 8 years

Younger sons present age: 4 years

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{27}[/tex]

Answer:

3x-4y=65

3x=65+4y

x=(65+4y)/3, when y=4

x=(65+4*4)/3

x=(65+16)/3

x=81/3

x=27

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 65

Let y= 4

3x - 4(4) = 65

3x -16 = 65

Add 16 to each side

3x-16+16 = 65+16

3x = 81

Divide by 3

3x/3 =81/3

x=27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB ≅ BC.  So, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle

Opposite angles of equal sides are equal.

∠BAC = ∠BCA = x°

In ΔABC,

∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180  {Angle sum property of triangle}

 56 + x + x = 180

56 + 2x = 180

        2x = 180 - 56

         2x = 124

           x = 124/2

           x = 62°

∠BAC = ∠BCA =  62°

∠DCF = ∠BCA   {Vertically opposite angles}

∠DCF = 62°

CDEF is a parallelogram.

In parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

∠DEF = ∠DCF

∠DEF = 62°

In a parallelogram, sum of adjacent angles = 180

∠DEF + ∠CDE = 180

62 + ∠CDE = 180

       ∠CDE = 180 - 62

      ∠CDE = 118°

∠CFE = ∠CDE   {In parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent}

∠CFE  = 118°

Answer:

(B) -266

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the nth term in a sequence is:

[tex]x_{n} = a + d(n-1)[/tex], where a is the first term and n is the "difference."

Looking at this equation, we can see that the number decreases by 7 each time and the first term is 70.

So:

[tex]x_n = 70 + -7(n-1)[/tex]

Solve for the equation:

[tex]x_n = 70 + -7n+7\\x_n = -7n+77[/tex]

Since we want to find the 49th term:

[tex]x_9 = -7(49) + 77\\x_9 = -343+77\\x_9 = -266[/tex]

Answer:

197

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion is; p^ = 12/50 = 0.24

Margin of error of 5% is given by the formula;

ME = (z_0.05) √[p^(1 - p^)/n]

Let's make n(number of sample) the subject.

n = ((z_0.05)/ME)²((p^)(1 - p^))

From tables, the z-score of 0.05 is 1.645

Thus;

n = ((1.645)/0.05)²(0.24(1 - 0.24))

n ≈ 197

Answer:

Longer than

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of sides A C and F E are congruent. The lengths of sides B C and D E are congruent. Therefore:

AC = FE, BC = DE

Also m∠C is greater than m∠E

∠C is the angle opposite to line AB and ∠E is the angle opposite to line DF. Since AC = FE, BC = DE and m∠C is greater than m∠E. The length of a side of a shape is proportional to its opposite angle, since the opposite angle of AB is greater than the opposite angle of DF  therefore AB is greater than DF

From the given two triangles under the given conditions of congruency, we can say that;

Line segment AB is longer than Line segment FD.

The image showing both triangles is missing and so i have attached it.

Therefore, we can say that line AB and line FD do not have the same length.

Now, we see that angle BCA is larger than angle DEF, and as such we can say that the line segment AB is longer than line segment FD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate an equation to solve for this one.

- I did x+x-20= 200

x represents the larger angle between the two triangles.

x-20 represents the smaller triangle which the problem states is 20 degrees smaller.

- if you solve the equation I gave you above you will get your answer. x= 110

your angles should be 110 and 90. You can check by adding those numbers which will equal to 200.

Answer:

D) 16+4√2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of the triangle is 8, we use 1/2bh to find it.  Since b and h are the same on this triangle, we find that 8=1/2(4)(4)

Now we know that the two sides of the parallelogram and the top two sides of the triangle are all 4.  We just need to find the bottom of the parallelogram to know the perimeter.  It’s the same as the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

4²+4²=c²

16+16=c²

32=c²

c=√32  Now we have all 5 sides.

4+4+4+4+√32

16+√32

16+4√2

Answer:

(A)

Sin á = a/c

Cos ∅ = a/c

Tan á = a/b

(B)

Sin á = a/c

Cos á = b/c

Tan á = a/b

Therefore á=

(inverse sin) a/c

Or

(Inverse cos) b/c

Or

(Inverse tan) a/b

(C)

If b = 12 and c = 13

then a =√(c²-b²)

= 5

Hence 5/13 = a/c

Therefore sin á = cos ∅ = a/c = 5/13

slope = change in y over change in x 

Answer:

The slope is [tex] -\frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

With points A(-2, 1), and B(-4, 2), slope (m) of the line can be calculated using the formula [tex] m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex],

Where,

[tex] y_2 = 2 [/tex]

[tex] y_1 = 1 [/tex]

[tex] x_2 = -4 [/tex]

[tex] x_1 = -2 [/tex]

Plug in the values into the slope formula:

[tex] m = \frac{2 - 1}{-4 -(-2)} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{2 - 1}{-4 + 2} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{1}{-2} [/tex]

[tex] m = -\frac{1}{2} [/tex]

c) 4:05 am

d) 3:25 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

To change a 12 hour clock to a 24 hour clock, note that when it hits p.m., anything over 12 p.m. will have the number added to it.

a) 2:30 am

2:30 am is earlier than 12 pm, therefore, 0230 is your answer. Remember, you must place the 0 in the front to not confuse a user that the 2 is in the tens place value.* *Essentially, use military time:

b) 1:15 pm

1:15 pm is later than 12 pm, therefore, add 12 to the 1 in the hours. Use military time:

0115 + 1200 = 1315

1315 hours is your answer.

To change a 24 hour clock to a 12 hour clock, note the time frame in which the time is given. if over 1200, then subtract by 12, and add the p.m.

0405 = 4:05 am.

1525 = 12 pm + 3:25 = 3:25 pm.

Answer:

C. 96 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for volume of cone = 1/3 * h * pi * r^2

1. 1/3 * 18 * 4^2 * pi

2. 96 pi

I hope this helps

Answer:

C. 96π cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be found using the following formula.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex]

The radius of the cone is 4 units and the height is 18 units.

r= 4 units

h=18 units

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi (4units)^2(18 units)[/tex]

First, evaluate the exponent, 4 units^2.

4 units^2= 4 units * 4 units= 16 units^2

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(16 units^2)(18 units)[/tex]

Next, multiply 16 units^2 and 18 units

16 units^2*18 units= 288 units^3

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(288 units^3)[/tex]

Next, multiply 1/3 and 288 units^3, or divide 288 units^3 by 3.

1/3 * 288 units^3 =96 units^2

288 units^3/3=96 units^3

[tex]V=\pi*96units^3[/tex]

This can be rewritten as:

[tex]V= 96\pi units^3[/tex]

The volume of the cone is 96π cubic units. Therefore, C is the correct answer choice.
