Melisande collected 14 bottles on Saturday and 9 bottles on Sunday for recycling. On Monday, she took all the bottles to the rec

ycling center, where they paid her a certain amount, b, for each bottle. However, she had to pay the recycling center a one-time service fee of $0.25. If she left there with $3.20 for the bottles, what is the value of b?

Answer: The value of b is $0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottles co0llected = 14+9 =23

Payment for each bottle = b

Total payment she will get = 23b

One -time service fee = $0.25

She has left = $3.20

According to the question,

23b - 0.25 = 3.20

⇒23b = 3.20+0.25

⇒23b = 3.45

⇒b = 0.15 [divide both sides by 23]

Cost of each bottle = $ 0.15

hence, the value of b is $0.15.

Given that Ray E B bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select three options. m∠CEA = 90° m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF m∠CEB =

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Here is the question attached with.

$m\angle CEA =90 \ (deg)$

$m\angle BEF=135\ (deg)$

$\angle CEF$ is a straight line.

$\angle AEF$ is a right angled triangle.

Options $1,4,5,6$ are correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒As $\ ray\ AE$ is ⊥ $FEC$ so it will forms right angled triangle then $m\angle CEA =90\ (deg)$ .

⇒Measure of $\angle BEF =135\ (deg)$ as $\angle BEF =\angle AEB +\angle AEF = (45+90)=135\ (deg)$ as $\angle AEB$ is the bisector of $\angle AEC$ ,meaning that $\angle AEB$ is half of $\angle AEC$ so $\angle AEB = 45\ (deg)$ .

⇒ $\angle CEF$ is a straight line as the angles measure over it is $180\ (deg)$ .

⇒Measure of $\angle AEF = 90\ (deg)$ from linear pair concept.

As $\angle CEA + \angle AEF = 180\ (deg)$ ,plugging the values of $m\angle CEA =90\ (deg)$ we have $\angle AEF = 90\ (deg)$ .

The other two options are false as:

$m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF = (90+135)=225$

it is exceeding $180\ (deg)$ whereas $\angle CEF$ is a

straight line.

And $m\angle CEB=2(m\angle CEA)$ is not true.

As $\angle CEA = 90\ (deg)$ and $\angle CEB=45\ (deg)$

So we have total $4$ answers.

The correct options are $1,4,5,6$ .

Triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half. Triangle N R M is shown. Angle N R M is a right angle. A

Fed [463]

Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half.

It means original equilateral is triangle MNO and NR is a perpendicular bisector (<em>A line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°</em>).

The side length of the triangle is

NO = NS + SM = 6 + 2 = 8

Since an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal and NR is a perpendicular bisector, therefore

RM = MO/2 = 8/2 = 4

The value of x is 4.

The course length of the Boston Marathon is about 4.2×104 meters. The course length of the Iditarod Trail Invitational ultra-mar

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The ultra-marathon Idita Rod Trail is about 38 times longer than the Boston Marathon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the Boston Marathon in meters

y -----> the length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon in meters

we have

$x=4.2*10^4\ m$

$y=1.6*10^6\ m$

we know that

To find out how many times as long is the course of the Idita rod Trail ultra-marathon as that of the Boston Marathon, divide the length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon by the length of the Boston Marathon

so

$\frac{y}{x}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1.6*10^6}{4.2*10^4}$

Remember that

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents

$\frac{1.6*10^6}{4.2*10^4}=\frac{1.6}{4.2}*(10^{6-4})=0.381*(10^{2})=38.1$

therefore

The ultra-marathon Idita Rod Trail is about 38 times longer than the Boston Marathon.
