The boiling point of jet fuel is 329 degrees Fahrenheit. Rounded to the nearest degree, what is the temperature in degrees Celsi

us? Use the formula C=5/9(f-32), where C represents degrees Celsius and f represents degree Fahrenheit.

Put the number in the formula and do the arithmetic.

C = (5/9)(329 - 32)

C = (5/9)(297)

C = 165

The temperature in °C is 165.

There are 20 students in my class. Each student needs: .2 cups, 2 plates, 1 party hat and a pair of earphones. My teacher has 2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Simple, no. This would not be enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you mentioned that there are 20 students and each of them needed 2 plates. So, there would need to be at least 40 plates. Forks seem irrelevant in this question but if the teacher has 8 plates in 1 box and another 8 in the second box, that would sum up to 16 plates that are available. And the fact that the box doesn't even include the other items, should hint the lack of items available for the students.

This question seemed worded differently. But tried my best. :)

JKLM is a rhombus. KM is 20 and JL is 48. Find the perimeter of the<br><br> rhombus.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

104 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Rhombus

$JL = 48$

$KM = 20$

Required

Determine the perimeter

The given parameter are the diagonals of the rhombus.

The perimeter (from diagonals) is calculated as thus:

$P = 2\sqrt{(JL)^2 + (KM)^2}$

Substitute values for JL and KM

$P = 2\sqrt{48^2 + 20^2}$

$P = 2\sqrt{2304 +400}$

$P = 2\sqrt{2704}$

$P = 2 * 52$

$P = 104$

<em>Hence, the perimeter is 104 units</em>

Match the following equation to the correct situation.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The equation given in the question matches the situation C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The amount that Cindy paid for books was 15% of p i.e. it is only $\frac{15p}{100} = 0.15p$

B. The amount is given to a charity after saving 15% of p. That means if p is the amount of charity, then there were a savings of 15% of p.

Therefore, the total charity payment after savings = p - 15% of p = $p - \frac{15p}{100} = p - 0.15p = 0.85p$

C. The amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 15% tax on p.

Therefore, if the price of a shirt is p, then total payment of Sandy after tax is = p + 15% of p = $(p + \frac{15p}{100}) = p + 0.15p = 1.15p$

Hence, the equation given in the question matches the situation C. (Answer)

The areas of two similar triangles are 75m2 and 300m2. The length of one of the sides of the second triangles is 9m. What is the

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

4.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of two similar triangles are 75 m2 and 300 m2. This gives you the scale factor of the triangles:

$\dfrac{A_{small}}{A_{large}}=k^2\Rightarrow k^2 =\dfrac{75}{300}=\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Then you can find the length of the corresponding side:

$\dfrac{side_{small}}{side_{large}}=k\Rightarrow =\dfrac{side_{small}}{9}=\dfrac{1}{2},\ side_{small}=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5\ m.$
