The weight of an orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Solution:

It is stated that the orangutan's weight is 142 pounds

Additionally,

1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds

We will now convert 142 pounds into kilograms

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

\text{1 pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \text{ kilograms }

As a result, 142 pounds translates to

142 \text{ pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 \text{ kilogrmas }

\rightarrow \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 = 64.545 \text{ kilograms }

When rounding to the nearest tenth, we obtain 64.5 kilograms

Therefore the mass of the orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Gabi wants to drive to and from the airport. She finds two companies near her that offer short-term car rental service at differ
Inessa [8989]

Answer:

The cost difference per mile between the two companies is $0.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabi formulates the equation 0.22m+7.20=0.1m+8.40 to determine after how many miles, denoted as m, the charges of both companies will be equal.

The first company levies c_1=0.22m+7.20 for m miles traveled.

The second company's charge for the same m miles is c_2=0.1m+8.40.

In these equations, the figures 7.20 and 8.40 signify the initial fees the companies impose.

The values 0.22 and 0.1 represent the respective costs per mile.

As such, the disparity in per-mile charges amounts to 0.22-0.1=0.12.

An alternative method to tackle this problem is by calculating the per-mile rate for each company:

1. Cost per mile for the first company

c_1(0)=0.22\cdot 0+7.20=7.20\\ \\c_1(1)=0.22\cdot 1+7.20=7.42\\ \\c_1(1)-c_1(0)-7.42-7.20=0.22

2. Cost per mile for the second company

c_2(0)=0.1\cdot 0+8.40=8.40\\ \\c_2(1)=0.1\cdot 1+8.40=8.50\\ \\c_2(1)-c_2(0)=8.50-8.40=0.1

3. The difference:

0.22-0.1=0.12

The perimeter of angle ABC is 98 centimeters. If the radius circle A is twice the radius of circle C and the radius of circle B
tester [8808]

Answer: Circle C has a radius of 7 cm.

Explanation:

Referring to the illustration below:

Let's denote the radius of circle C as x.

Circle A's radius can be represented as 2x.

Circle B's radius can be expressed as 4x.

The length of side AC in triangle ΔABC becomes x + 2x = 3x.

For side BC of triangle ΔABC, we get 4x + x = 5x.

Similarly, for side AB of triangle ΔABC, it is 4x + 2x = 6x.

Given that the perimeter of triangle ΔABC totals 98 cm.

Remember, the perimeter refers to the total length around the triangle.

Hence, Perimeter = 6x + 5x + 3x = 98 cm.

Thus, 14x = 98.

From this, we find x = \frac{98}{14}.

Therefore, x = 7.

This concludes that the radius of circle C is 7 cm.
