% change = difference / original x 100

% change = (0.75 / 2.5) x 100

% change = 30%

It was a 30% change

naveed makes 6.5litres of soup,correst to the nearest 0.5 litre he serves portions of his soup in 330ml cups correct to the near

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Number of Cups = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Soup = 6.5 litres

SIze of cup = 330 ml

Required

Number of Cups.

First, it'll be assumed that the size of cups are uniform (the same).

The number of cups needed is calculated by dividing the size of soup by the size of the cup;

Number of Cup = Size of Soup/Size of Cup

Number of Cup = 6.5 litres/ 330 ml

Convert units;

1 litres = 1000 ml

So,

6.5 litres = 6.5 * 1,000 ml

6.5 litres = 6,500 ml

So,

Number of Cups = 6500 ml/330 ml

Number of Cups = 19.696969697

From the solution above, Naveed will definitely be able to serve 19 cups. The remaining fractional part won't fill a cup;

Hence, Number of Cups = 19

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.

A square ceiling has a diagonal of 23 ft. Shelton wants to put molding around the perimeter of the ceiling. The molding is sold

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Minimum 66 feet of molding that he needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a square ceiling has a diagonal of 23 ft.

If the sides of the square ceiling are 'a' feet, then applying Pythagoras Theorem we can write, a² + a² = 23²

⇒ 2a² = 23²

⇒ a = 16.2634 feet (Approximate)

Now, the perimeter of the square ceiling will be 4a = 65.05 feet.

If the cost of molding along the perimeter of the ceiling is in per foot, then a minimum of 66 feet of molding that he needs. (Answer)

The population of a small rural town in Iowa went from 5700 people in 1998 to 7945 in 2005. What is the rate of change in the po

Ksivusya [100]

First, the total difference of the amount of people living in the town from 1998 to 2005 is 7945-5700 or 2245 people. To find out how many years it took for this growth, we would need to subtract 1998 from 2005 to get 7 years. So, in 7 years, the town gained 2245 people. If we divide 2245 by 7 to get the unit rate, we will find that the change in population is 320.71... people per year, or if rounded, 321 people per year, which is a.
