Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

 divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

dybincka [34]
Ok, so if the angle is 120 degrees, its one third of the full cake (which is 360 degrees). So the area of the whole circle (worked out with area = pi * r^2 where r is 30) gives 900*pi, and so one third of that (because her slice is one third)  is 300pi.

Your question needs more details. What was the total amount of profits ($) the company had made? One you figure that out you take ($) divided by (#) that will get you amount per person. Then for part two of the question you need how much money is considered a profit them. Once you have that you can they amount they need divide that by cost of a ticket. Then that is your answer.

5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will
iragen [17]

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}
