Answer:

$20\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

=> $5\frac{1}{4} + 15\frac{1}{2}$

=> $\frac{21}{4}+ \frac{31}{2}$

=> $\frac{21+62}{4}$

=> $\frac{83}{4}$

=> $20\frac{3}{4}$

Patricia can drive 36 kilometers for every 3 liters of gas she puts in her car

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Patricia will run 132 kilometers with 11 liters of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is representing the distance driven by Patricia for every liter of gas she puts in her car.

With 3 liters of gas she drives 36 kilometers.

This means in one liter of gas distance covered by the car = $\frac{36}{3}=12$ kilometers.

Similarly if the car runs 48 kilometers in 4 liters of gas then per liter distance covered by the gas will be = $\frac{48}{4}=12$ kilometers

Now with 11 liters of gas distance covered by the car will be = 11×12

= 132 kilometers

Therefore, with 11 liters of gas Patricia can run 132 kilometers.

The maximum grade allowed between two stations in a rapid-transit rail system is 3.5%. Between station A and station B, which

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

x = 3.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the slope the track.

Given:

Distance between station A and B = 270 ft

Track rise = $8\frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{2} = 8.5\ ft$

We need to find the slope of the railway track between station A an B.

Solution:

The maximum grade allowed between two stations in a rapid-transit rail system is 3.5%.

We know that slope of the railway track is equal to gradient of the tracks.

So. the slope of the railway track is defined as the ratio of the distance between the stations and track rises.

$Slope\ of\ the\ the\ tracks =\frac{Distance\ between\ two\ stations}{track\ rises}$

$x=\frac{8.5}{270}\times 100$

x = 3.1 %

So x = 3.1 % less than the maximum grade allowed between two stations in a rapid-transit rail system is 3.5%.

Therefore, x = 3.1 % meets the rapid-transit rail standards.

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

uysha [10]

Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is $38.25\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

In this problem

$P=QR+RS+ST+QT$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

step 1

Find the distance QR

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$QR=10\ units$

step 2

Find the distance RS

$R(14, 16), S(20, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36}$

$RS=6\ units$

step 3

Find the distance ST

$S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$ST=8.25\ units$

step 4

Find the distance QT

$Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{196}$

$QT=14\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units$

Here are seven tiles: 1,1,3,3,3,5,5. Tom takes a tile at random. He does not replace the tile. Tom then takes a second tile. A)

zzz [600]

Answer:

a) 2/42

b)16/42

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2/7 x 1/6 = 2/42

b) (1,2) (1,3) (2,3)

P(1,2) = 2/7 x 3/6 = 6/42

P(1,3) = 2/7 x 2/6 = 4/42

P(2,3) = 3/7 x 2/6 = 6/42

Add all = 6/42 + 4/42 + 6/42 = 16/42

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Liula [17]

Answer:

31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add the areas together

We have a rectangle and a triangle

The area of the rectangle is

A = lw

= 7*3

= 21

The area of the triangle is

A = 1/2 bh

= 1/2 (7)*3

= 21/2

= 10.5

Add them together

A = 21 + 10.5

=31.5
