In 2000, U.S. Airways burned about 115 litres of fuel per passenger. In 2014 that dropped
to 90 litres of fuel per passenger. What is the percentage reduction in fuel used? Give you
answer to the nearest whole percentage.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

22% reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percent decrease by dividing the difference in amounts by the original amount.

Find the difference:

115 - 90 = 25

Divide this by the original amount:

25/115

= 0.217

So, the percent decrease is 21.7%. Round this to the nearest whole percentage:

= 22

The percent reduction in fuel used was approx. 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x is inside of the square root, the x value must be positive. This makes x {0,infinity). Yet, when square rooting x, you should have both a negative and a positive value for y. So, this should be your graph.

Options for center of dilation is located -->
At the center of the smaller circle, or at the center of the larger circle, or at at the top of the larger circle, or to the right of both circles, or to the left of both circles.

I WILL REPORT SCAMS.

Answers

The scale factor of the dilation is 0.78

The centre of dilation is located at (0,0)

The scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of the corresponding component of the final image to the original image.

According to the image given, the scale factor will be the ratio of the radius of the final image to the original image as shown below:

[tex]Scale \ factor = \frac{small \ radius}{large \ radius} \\Scale \ factor = \frac{7}{9}\\ Scale \ factor=0.78[/tex]

Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 0.78

The centre of dilation is located at the origin because the radius is the distance between the centre of the circle and its circumference. We can therefore conclude that the centre of dilation is located at (0,0)

The scale factor of the dilation is [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex].

The center of dilation is a point to the right of both circles.

From Analytical Geometry we know that every Circle is defined by its Radius, its form is directly proportional to its radius. Hence, the Scale Factor of the Dilation ([tex]f[/tex]) is the following ratio:

[tex]f = \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]r_{1}[/tex] - Radius of the original circle.

[tex]r_{2}[/tex] - Radius of the dilated circle.

If we know that [tex]r_{1} = 9[/tex] and [tex]r_{2} = 7[/tex], then the scale factor of the dilation is:

[tex]f = \frac{7}{9}[/tex].

The scale factor of the dilation is [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex].

There is a geometrical approach to determine the location of the Center of Dilation. We draw two lines tangent (blue lines) to both circles and we extend to the right of the scene, the point in which both intersects each other is the location of the center of dilation. (representation is included in the image attached below)

In a nutshell, the center of dilation is a point to the right of both circles.

Kyrin picked 40 apples from the trees behind his house. Later, he gave two to each of his friends. He only has 8 remaining. How many friends does he have?

Answers

16 friends. solve using the equation 40 - 2x = 8.

Answer:

kyrin had 16 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

40 - 2 (x) = 8 make x as friends

- 2x = 8 - 40

- 2x/ - 2 = - 32/ -2

x = 16

at 1 pm, you start out on your bike at 12 mph to meet a friend who lives 8 miles away. at the same time, the friend starts walking toward you at 4 mph. at what time will you meet your friend?

Answers

Answer:  1:30 PM

It takes 30 minutes

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours traveled

We'll use the equation

distance = rate*time

You bike at a rate of 12 mph and do so for x hours. That means you travel 12x miles based on the equation above. Your friend travels 4x miles for similar reasoning. Overall, the two of you travel a combined distance of 12x+4x = 16x miles. This combined distance is set equal to the 8 miles (distance between your houses) and you solve for x.

16x = 8

x = 8/16

x = 1/2

x = 0.5

Recall x is the number of hours, so that means it takes 1/2 an hour for the two of you to meet. This is equivalent to 30 minutes since 1/2*60 = 30.

If all of this starts at 1 PM, then you'll meet up at 1:30 PM since we add on 30 minutes to 1 PM to get to this moment in time.

------------------

Extra info:

You travel 12x = 12*0.5 = 6 miles

Your friend travels 4x = 4*0.5 = 2 miles

Total distance = you+friend = 6+2 = 8 miles

This helps confirm the answer.

Jayden travels 13/18 feet in 9/26 seconds. Find the speed of Jayden in feet per second.

Answers

Answer:

Speed = 2 7/81 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance travelled = 13/18 feet

Time taken = 9/26 seconds

Find the speed of Jayden in feet per second.

Speed = Distance travelled / Time taken

= 13/18 ÷ 9/26

= 13/18 × 26/9

= (13 * 26) / (18 * 9)

= 338 / 162

= 2 14/162

= 2 7/81 feet per second

Speed = 2 7/81 feet per second

Jayden speed is 2 7/81 feet per second

Given that the universal set.

Answers

Given that

U = {X : 30 ≤ X ≤ 40. X is an even number}.

so Mathematically

U = {30,32,34,36,38 40}.

P = {X : X is a multiple of 4}

P = { 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,........}

and Q = {X : X is a number such that the sum of its digits is an odd number}.

Q = {12,14,16,18,21,23,25,27,29,30,32,34,36,38,41,43,45,..........}.

(Q')= U-Q  ={40}

(P∩Q')= {40}

n(P∩Q')= 1

(Q') is Q complement which means a set containing those elements of the universal set which are not element of the set Q.

(P∩Q') is a set containing those elements of set P and Q complement which are common to both sets.

n(P∩Q') denotes the number of elements in a set containing those elements of set P and Q complement which are common to both sets which  has only 1 element which is 40.

So the best answer is part A = 1.
