Answer:
85-86%
Step-by-step explanation:
Make it an equation
You want to find the percent out of a hundred, so 42 is 100 since it is all of the questions and 36 is the unknown percent X
36/42 = X/100
36 X
42 100
Cross multiply
Do math and solve for X
36 x 100 = 42 x X
3600=42X
X=85.71
Answer:
64%
Step-by-step explanation:
25 - 9 = 16, so 16 of the games were won by Sally's team.
16/25 = 64% of the games were won
Well, first let's identify which answers are incorrect, then it will be easier to figure out which are correct.
A. Equilateral: An equilateral triangle is a triangle with 3 equal sides. Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle, an equilateral triangle would have three sides of 60 degrees, and none of 45 degrees. Answer? Incorrect.
B. Isosceles: An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal. 45 and 45 are equal, therefore, this answer is: Correct!
C. Scalene: A scalene triangle has three unequal sides, therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D. Obtuse: An obtuse triangle has one angle that is more than 90 degrees, therefore, since 45 and 45 equal 90 already, this answer is: incorrect.
E. Right: A right triangle has one right angle (angle that equals 90 degrees) since 45 + 45 = 90, and 90 + 90 = 180, this answer is: Correct!
F. Equiangular: This last choice is practically the same as the first, therefore the answer is: incorrect.
The two correct answers are: B Isosceles, and E Right!
To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let
us say that:
A = runner
B = cyclist
d = distance
v = velocity
time = t
The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the
time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:
dA = dB
We know that the formula for calculating distance is:
d = v t
therefore,
vA tA = vB tB
Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:
vA (tB + 2) = vB tB
4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB
4 tB + 8 = 14 tB
10 tB = 8
tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min
Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8
hours or 48 minutes.
