Suppose that an elementary school starts a recycling program. After one year, the school has
reduced its trash from 144,000 pounds per year to 122,400 pounds per year. Find the percent
decrease in the amount of trash.
Answer:
15% is reduced
Step-by-step explanation:
I always start by finding what 10% and 5% is, after that, I try to see how I can make that into the number subtracted and for this it happened to be 15% I found that 10% was 14,400 and 5% was 7,200 and I found the total amount reduced was 21,600 which is 14,400+7,200 or 10%+5%
Philip's rectangular deck is 5 yards wide. The ratio of the width to the length is 4 to 5. What is the approximate length of Philip's deck in feet? Hint: 1 yard = 3 feet.
Answer:
18.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
we find the length of Philip's rectangular deck in yards
The ratio of the width to the length is 4 to 5.
Philip's rectangular deck is 5 yards wide.
Hence,
Hence:
4/5 = 5/x
Cross Multiply
4x = 5 × 5
4x = 25
x = 25/4
x = 6.25 yards
The length of Philip's field = 6.25 yards
Hint: 1 yard = 3 feet.
Converting the yard to feet
1 yard = 3 feet
6.25 yards = x
Cross Multiply
x = 6.25 × 3 feet
x = 18.75 feet
Therefore, the length of Philip's field in feet = 18.75 feet

Answer:
Z is 66. If you want an explanation, I could give it to you, FYI.
Answer:
x=66°
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
If the two vertical lines are parallel, then the given angles are same side interior angles that are supplementary angles. This means that their values add up to 180°:
∠1+∠2=180°
Substitute known values:
[tex]x+114=180[/tex]
Subtract 114 from both sides to isolate x:
[tex]x+114-114=180-114\\\\x=66[/tex]
The value of x is 66°.

14x - 43 = 71 + 8x look for x show work please
Answer:
x=19
Step-by-step explanation:
14x-43=71+8x problem
14x=114+8x add 43 to both sides
6x=114 subtract 8x from both sides
x=19 divide by 6 to both sides (114/6 =19) x=19

A construction uses beams that are 2,3, or 4 meters long. The measure of each beam must be converted to centimeters. Write a function to describe the situation. Find a reasonable domain and range for the function. (Hint 1 m = 100 cm)
Answer:
The function rule be 100 × x
The independent variables i.e. (2, 3, and 4) are considered to be the domain
The dependent variable (200,300,400) are considered to be the range
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
1 m = 100 cm
So
2 m = 200 cm
3 m = 300 cm
4 m = 400 cm
The function rule be 100 × x
The independent variables i.e. (2, 3, and 4) are considered to be the domain
The dependent variable (200,300,400) are considered to be the range

Answer:
decimal form: 7.46410161 or the exact form: x = 4 + 2 √ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4 + 2√3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2 = √4x
Domain: √4x ≥ 0 ⇒ x - 2 ≥ 0 ⇒ x ≥ 2
(x - 2)² = (√4x)²
x² - 4x + 4 = 4x
x² - 8x + 4 = 0
D = (- 8)² - 4(1)(4) = 48 = (4√3)²
[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8+4\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] = 4 + 2√3 ≈ 7.4641
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8-4\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] = 4 - 2√3 ≈ 0.5359 < 2 ⇒ [tex]x_{2}[/tex] is extraneous root
The choir at wise middle school was preparing for their Hispanic concert. While rehearsing their opening song they noticed it took 48.7 seconds to sing it.They felt it was too long and sang it again taking off 2.9 seconds from the original time. The third time they sang it they were able to take an additional 0.47 seconds off their time. How long did it take the choir to sing the song the third time?
Answer:
45.88 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]t_1[/tex] = Time taken to sing the fist time = [tex]48.7\ \text{s}[/tex]
Time taken to sing the second time was [tex]2.9\ \text{s}[/tex] less than the first time so
[tex]t_2=t_1-2.9\\\Rightarrow t_2=48.7-2.9\\\Rightarrow t_2=45.8\ \text{s}[/tex]
Time taken to sing the third time was [tex]0.47\ \text{s}[/tex] less than the the second time
[tex]t_3=t_2-0.47\\\Rightarrow t_3=45.8-0.47\\\Rightarrow t_3=45.88\ \text{s}[/tex]
So the time it took the choir to sing the third time was 45.88 seconds.

Find the absolute change and the relative change of the number of refugees in the world that increased from 8.7 million in 2005 to 16.1 million in 2015 on percentage.
Answer:
Absolute change = 7.4 million
Relative change percentage = 85.1%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of refugees in 2005 = 8.7 million
Number of refugees in 2015 = 16.1 million
The absolute change :
(Number of refugees in 2015 - number of refugees in 2005)
(16.1 million - 8.7 million) = 7.4 million refugees
The relative change in the number of refugees :
((Number of refugees in 2015 - number of refugees in 2005) / number in 2005) * 100%
[(16.1 - 8.7) / 8.7] * 100%
(7.4 / 8.7) * 100%
0.8505747 * 100%
= 85.057%
= 85.1%

Use the figure to find the measure of angle 2.
Answer:
∠ 2 = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
110° and ∠ 1 are corresponding angles and congruent, thus
∠ 1 = 110°
∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are adjacent angles and are supplementary, thus
∠ 2 = 180° - ∠ 1 = 180° - 110° = 70°

Answer:
Length of side e is 4.12
Length of side f is 4.24
The length of side f is larger than length of side e
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two line segments e and f. We need to find lengths of both e and f and determine which is larger.
We can use distance formula to calculate lengths of line segments.
The Distance Formula is: [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Finding length of side e:
We are given points (-2,3) and (-1,-1)
here we have [tex]x_1=-2, y_1=3, x_2=-1 , y_2=-1[/tex]
Putting values in distance formula and finding length
[tex]Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{((-1)-(-2))^2+(-1-(3))^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(-1-3)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{(1)^2+(-4)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{1+16}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= \sqrt{17}\\Length \ of \ side \ e= 4.12[/tex]
So, Length of side e is 4.12
Finding length of side f:
We are given points (2,2) and (-1,-1)
here we have [tex]x_1=2, y_1=2, x_2=-1 , y_2=-1[/tex]
Putting values in distance formula and finding length
[tex]Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{((-1)-(2))^2+(-1-(2))^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-1-2)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{(-3)^2+(-3)^2}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{9+9}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= \sqrt{18}\\Length \ of \ side \ f= 4.24[/tex]
So, Length of side f is 4.24
The length of side f is larger than length of side e

Kenzie is putting the family vacation videos onto a flash drive. The flash drive can hold 200 minutes of video. Kenzie has used 45% of the memory space already. How many minutes of the flash drive has she already used?
Answer:
90 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate a percentage of the minutes of video we simply need to divide the percentage by 100 and then multiply that value by the total number of minutes that the flash drive can hold. Since we are given this total number of minutes then we can simply plug it in and solve for x which represents the percentage of memory used in minutes.
x = 200 * (45 / 100)
x = 200 * 0.45
x = 90 minutes
Therefore, Kenzie has already used 90 minutes of video on the flash drive.
