Answer: 300 hrs

The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is  300 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Raleigh driver spent 18 hours in traffic jams

And it accounts for 6% of their total driving time

Now

let total driving time be = x hrs

so

6% of total driving time = 18 hrs

6/100 × x = 18hrs

6x = 1800 hrs

x = 1800/6

x = 300 hrs

∴ The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is  300 hrs

Mark has a 25 ounce drink. He drinks 5 ounces. What percent of the drink does he have left?
valina [46]

Answer: 80\%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Rule of Three</u>, which is a mathematical rule to find out an amount that is with another quantity given in the same relation as other two also known.

In this case, the 25 ounce drink represents the 100 \% . So, if Mark drinks 5 ounces, this means he has 20 ounces left and we have to find the percent this represents:

25 oz ------- 100\%

20 oz -------- ?

?=\frac{(20 oz)(100\%)}{25 oz}

?=80\% This is the percent of the drink Mark has left

How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFracti
dangina [55]

Answer:

<u>option 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown in the attached figure.

From the figure, we can deduce that:

∠U ≅ ∠X and ∠W ≅ ∠Z  and ∠V ≅ ∠Y

So, ΔUWV similar to ΔXZY

But it is required to know " How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? "

So, we need to prove the corresponding angles are proportion

With the help of the previous corresponding angles.

So, we need to show that the ratios \frac{UV}{XY}  \ , \ \frac{WU}{ZX} \  and \ \frac{WV}{ZY} are equivalent.

So, the answer is <u>option 1</u>

Round 1627187 to the nearest ten?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1627190

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Given the number 1627187, we can see that the number in the tens place is the number 8.  

How we round this depends on the number immediately to the right of this number. (i.e the digit in the ones place)

Case 1: If the digit in the ones place is less less than 5, then the number in the tens place remains the same and replace all the digits to its right with zeros

Case 2: If the digit in the ones places is 5 or greater, then we increase the digit in the tens place and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.

In our case, the digit in the ones places is 7, this greater than 5, hence according to Case 2 above, we increase the digit in the tens place by one (from 8 to 9) and replace all the digits to its right by zeros giving us:

1627190
