Answer:

132 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pamela drove her car 99 kilometers and used 9 liters of fuel.

To find: Number of kilometers Pamela drove in 12 liters of fuel.

Solution:

It is given that Pamela drove her car 99 kilometers and used 9 liters of fuel. Also the relationship between kilometers and fuel is proportional.

So, let us assume that she can travel x kilometers in 12 liters of fuel.

By proportionality we have,

99:9 :: x:12

\frac{99}{9} =\frac{x}{12}

11=\frac{x}{12}

x=12\times11

x=132

Hence, she can travel 132 kilometers in 12 liters of petrol.

Answer:

132 km on 12 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just set up the proportion.

99 km : 9 liters :: x : 12 liters. Change this to an equation.

99/ 9 = x/12                             Divide the left

11 = x / 12                                 Multiply both sides by 12

11 * 12 = x/12 *12                      Combine the left and cancel the right.

132 = x

She can drive 132 km on 12 liters.

The mini muffins company bakes 1872 muffins the large mini muffin boxes hold a dozen muffins how many large boxes are needed to
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

To pack 1872 muffins the mini muffins company needs 156 large boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of muffins baked by the mini muffins company  = 1872.

the large mini muffin boxes hold a dozen muffins that is the large box contains 12 muffins.( 1 Dozen = 12 )

We have to find the number of large boxes needed to pack 1872 muffins.

Using unitary method,

12 muffins is contained in 1 large box.

1 muffin is contained in \frac{1}{12} large box.

1872 muffins contained in \frac{1}{12} \times 1872=156 large boxes.

Hence, To pack 1872 muffins the mini muffins company needs 156 large boxes.

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. AB=6 units

YZ=3 units

BC=8 units

XY=4 units, then

\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2

2. \angle B and \angle Y are right angles - given

3.  \angle B\cong \angle Y two right angles are always congruent.

4. \triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

In a scale drawing of an apartment 1 centimeter represents 2 3/4 feet. if the length of the kitchens is 4 1/2 cm on the scale dr
rusak2 [61]
Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2

11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8

OR You could use decimals

2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8

A series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185. The last number of the series is 275. What is the first number?
dusya [7]
The sum of arithmetic series is given by:
Sn=n/2(a1+an)
where:
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term
but
n=18, an=275, Sn=4185
plugging the values in the formula we get:
4185=18/2(a1+275)
simplifying this we get:
4185=9(a1+275)
dividing through by 9 we get:
465=a1+275
thus
a1=465-275
a1=190

Answer: first number is 190

A referendum failed by a vote of 36 No's and 24 Yes's. To make a pie chart of this result, what is the lesser measure in degrees
Daniel [21]
From the given number of people who voted Yes and No to the referendum, there are 60 people all in all. The fewer of which is 24 which voted as Yes. If we are to construct a pie chart and calculate the measure of the smaller angle, we take the ratio of 24 and 60 and multiply it to 360. 
      
                       measure of angle ACB = (24/60)(360)
                         measure of angle ACB = 144°

Thus, the angle measure 144°.
