Answer:

21/5

Step-by-step explanation:

if a/b = c, then b=a/c

in other words:

divide -7/25 by -1/15 to get the answer

It also helps to use the fact that a/b / c/d = a/b * d/c

-7/25 / -1/15 = -7/25 * -15/1

= 105 / 25

= 21 / 5

Answer:

$4 \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 7}{25} \div x = \frac{ - 1}{15}$

$x = \frac{ - 7}{25} \div \frac{ - 1}{15}$

$= \frac{7}{25} \times \frac{15}{1}$

$= \frac{21}{5} = 4 \frac{1}{5}$

_____ are ______ midsegments of ΔWXY.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The perimeter of Δ WXY is 14.50 cm ⇒ the last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There is a fact in any triangle; the segment joining the midpoints of

two side of a triangle is parallel to the 3rd side and half its length

* Lets use this fact to solve the problem

- In Δ WXY

∵ Q is the midpoint of WX

∵ R is the midpoint of XY

∵ S is the midpoint of YW

- By using the fact above

∴ QR = 1/2 WY

∴ RS = 1/2 WX

∴ SQ = 1/2 XY

- Lets calculate the length of the sides of Δ WXY

∵ QR = 1/2 WY

∵ QR = 2.93

∴ 2.93 = 1/2 WY ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ WY = 5.86 cm

∵ RS = 1/2 WX

∵ RS = 2.04

∴ 2.04 = 1/2 WX ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ WX = 4.08 cm

∵ SQ = 1/2 XY

∵ SQ = 2.28

∴ 2.28 = 1/2 XY ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ XY = 4.56 cm

- Lets find the perimeter of Δ WXY

∵ The perimeter of Δ WXY = WX + XY + YW

∴ The perimeter of Δ WXY = 5.86 + 4.08 + 4.56 = 14.50

* The perimeter of Δ WXY is 14.50 cm

Gravity Hospital purchased a new item of equipment on January 1,20X1. The equipment has an estimated useful life of ten years an

qaws [65]

Answer:

$25000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salvage value is 20% of the cost, then 80% of the cost will be depreciated over 10 years. Over the 5 years from Jan 1 20X1 to Dec 31 20X5, the $10,000 accumulated depreciation represents 5/10 of that 80%, or 40% of the initial cost.

$10,000 = 0.40 × cost

$10,000/0.40 = cost = $25,000

The acquisition cost of the equipment was $25,000.

On a rectangular soccer field, Sang is standing on the goal line 20 yards from the corner post. Jazmin is standing 99 yards from

Anna007 [38]

Okay, so Sang is standing 20 yards away from one corner, and Jazmin is standing 99 yards away from the same corner. If this is a rectangle (I like visuals, so I'll use them to explain), then:

99ft
A ------------------------- B
   |    |
20 ft |    |
   |    |
C -------------------------- D

The question is asking you to solve for the diagonal line between points C and B. If you imagine a line there, you actually have the rectangle split into two triangles. So if you have triangle ABC, side CB would be the longest line, or the hypotenuse. That means you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problem.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2
99^2 + 20^2 = C^2
9,801 + 400 = C^2
10,201 = C^2

Now you solve for the square root of 10,201 to get C.

sqr (10,201) = C
C = 101 yards

The number of species n found on islands typically increases with the area of the island A. Suppose that this relationship is su

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$n(A) = n_1A^k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the growth rate of the number of species on the island is proportional to the density of species (number of species between area of the island), a model based on a differential equation is proposed:

$\frac{dn}{dA} = k\frac{n}{A}$
