Answer:
The length of PQ is <u>18</u> feet.
The length of PR is <u>18</u> feet.
The length of QR is <u>24</u> feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A way to set an equation up for this problem is:
where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.
Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:
Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:
Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).
Sorry for the long explanation.
But hope this helps and answers your question :)

Answer:
The number of deserters is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.
The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.
If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.
If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.
If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.
If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:
As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.
The deserters are 34:
Answer:
about 0.38 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Total = 1,400 Employees
Those who drive a bus = 530
530 / 1,400 = 0.378571428571429
round up = about 0.38 %
Nine times d = 9*d = 9d
47 decreased by 9d = 47 - 9d
= 47 - 9d.
