Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation is in progress of writing:

First, I will divide 60 by 75 and multiply by 100, to find what percent of 75 is 60:

= \frac{60}{75} · 100

= 0.8 · 100

= 80%

Quadrilateral A′B′C′D′ is obtained by a reflection across the y-axis of quadrilateral ABCD, followed by a translation 3 units to
nlexa [21]

Let's solve this problem step by step.


FIRST. <em>Quadrilateral A′B′C′D′ is obtained by a reflection across the y-axis of quadrilateral ABCD</em>


When we reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate changes in sign. So:

(x, y) → (-x, y)


SECOND. <em>Followed by a translation 3 units to the left and 3 units down.</em>

To translate a point <em>3 units to the left</em> subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and to translate a point <em>3 units down </em>subtract 3 from the y-coordinate. Therefore, the function we are looking for is:


f(x, y) = (-x - 3, y - 3)

Brenda is cooking couscous. The recipe says she requires 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. How many will she need for 14?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

1,680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can create a proportion using this setup:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe needs 480 grams for 4 people and x (unknown-what we are trying to find) grams for 14 people.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, we have to solve for x-the grams needed for 14 people. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 14. To undo this, multiply both sides by 14, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

She needs 1,680 grams of couscous for 14 people.

Dafna1 [17]
Well there's 10 minutes in the second part so first 48/2 is 24. Now 24/4 (since there's 4 people so far) is 6, now 6*6 because there's now 6 people in total so the final answer is 36 in 5 minutes
