Answer:

I dont know how many pounds are in an ounce but I'll give you an explanation using kilograms and grams as an example and I'll talk you through it

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 1000 grams(g) in a kilograms (kg) just so you know

let's say I have a 13 g box of cereal for $3.99.

I do a ratio to work out 1 kg

13 g : $3.99

1000g : x

In your case your going to write

13 ounces : $3.99

[here write how many

ounces are in a pound] : x

to find x you 1st have to take the 2 numbers you do know and divide them

so in my example I do 1000g÷13 g = 76

then I take 76.92 and I multiply it by the other side

$3.99 x 76.92 = 306.91

for me 1kg of cereal is worth $306.91

all you need to do is replace my 1 kg with how many ounces are in a pound

Two friends went fishing on a lake. One friend's lure went 23 feet below the lake's surface, while the other friend's lure sank

serg [7]

Answer:

$Distance = 58\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the lure's difference with A and B;

$A = 23\ feet$

$B = 81\ feet$

Required

Determine the difference in depth between the lure's depth

The distance is calculated as follows;

$Distance = B - A$

Substitute 23 feet for A and 81 feet for B

$Distance = 81\ feet - 23\ feet$

$Distance = 58\ feet$

<em>Hence, the distance between both lure's is 58 feet</em>

Now imagine that instead of walking along the path 1→2→3→4→1, ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33∘ north of east starting

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Anna's walk as a vector representation is $80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j}$ and refer attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the origin be the point 1 from where Ann start walking.

Ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33° north of the east starting at point 1 as shown in figure below,

Resolving into the vectors, the vertical component will be 80Sin33° and Horizontal component will be 80Cos33° as shown in figure (2)

Ann walk as a vector representation is $80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j}$

Thus, Anna's walk as a vector representation is $80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j}$

For ΔABC, ∠A = 4x - 10, ∠B = 5x + 10, and ∠C = 7x + 20. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 3 to create ΔA'B'C'

VLD [36.1K]

We know that the angles of a triangle sum to 180°. For ΔABC, this means we have:
(4x-10)+(5x+10)+(7x+20)=180

Combining like terms,
16x+20=180

Subtracting 20 from both sides:
16x=160

Dividing both sides by 16:
x=10
This means ∠A=4*10-10=40-10=30°; ∠B=5*10+10=50+10=60°; and ∠C=7*10+20=70+20=90.

For ΔA'B'C', we have
(2x+10)+(8x-20)+(10x-10)=180

Combining like terms,
20x-20=180

Adding 20 to both sides:
20x=200

Dividing both sides by 20:
x=10

This gives us ∠A'=2*10+10=20+10=30°; ∠B'=8*10-20=80-20=60°; and ∠C'=10*10-10=100-10=90°.

Since the angle are all congruent, ΔABC~ΔA'B'C' by AAA.
