If you look at the figure, triangles XVW and ZYW are similar. So, you can use ratio and proportion to solve this problem. Notice that there are tick marks on th other two sides of the bigger triangles. That indicates that the like signs of ticks are equal. For example, that means XZ = ZW and that XW = 2XZ = 2ZW.

24.4/YZ = XW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2ZW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2
Solving for YZ,
YZ = 12.2

Which is bigger 0.96 0r 19/20

REY [17]

0.96 or 19/20

0.96 as fraction = 96/100 = 19.2 / 20 5 into 96 is 19.2 and 5 into 100 is 20

So 0.96 is the same as 19.2/20

Since 19.2 / 20 and 19 / 20 have the same denominator, therefore the 19.2 / 20 is bigger than 19 / 20.

So the 0.96 is bigger than the 19 / 20.

A pond had 60 fish. 27 were carp and the rest were tench. 10 fish were added. The probability that a fish picked at random is a

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 2

Explanation:

A pond had 60 fish but 10 were added so now the pond has 70 fish.

The probability of choosing a carp is 1/2 so $\frac{1}{2} (70)$ = 35 are now carp.

There were 27 carp and now there are 35 carp so 8 carp were added.

10 fish were added and 8 of them were carp so 2 of them were tench.

You need at least $485 to go on a trip to New York City. You already have $100 saved for the trip. You decide to save an additio

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Remark
The entire trip costs 485 dollars. She has a hundred, and you are looking for the number of weeks needed to save for the trip.

Step one
Set up the basic equation.
35w + 100 ≥ 485

Step two
solve
35w + 100 ≥ 485 Subtract 100 from both sides.
35W ≥ 485 - 100
35W ≥ 385 Divide by 35
W ≥ 385 / 35
W ≥ 11 weeks.

Since we don't have choices, we can't eliminate those that are wrong.

If I had to guess I would say it was something that looked like
35W + 100 ≥ 485

Denise is constructing A square.

Note: A square has all sides equal.

We already given two vertices M and N of the square.

And another edge of the square is made by from N.

Because a square has all sides of equal length, the side NO should also be equal to MN side of the square.

Therefore, Denise need to place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that intersects N O, using MN as the width for the opening of the compass. That would make the NO equals MN.

Therefore, correct option is :

D) place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that intersects N O, using MN as the width for the opening of the compass.
