Response:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to form an equation that illustrates the area that Felicia has covered, denoted as y, in relation to the number of tiles she utilized, represented by x.

Let x= Number of tiles

y=Area occupied by Felicia's tiles

x_1=9, x_2=18, x_3=27

y_1=1, y_2=2,y_3=3

\frac{x_1}{y_1}=\frac{9}{1}=9

\frac{x_2}{y_2}=\frac{18}{2}=9

\frac{x_3}{y_3}=\frac{27}{3}=9

The relationship between x and y is constant. Hence, it follows a direct proportion.

The equation for direct proportion is shown as

\frac{x}{y}=k

Where

k=The value of the ratio of x and y

x and y are variable factors

Here, we have k=9

Substituting the known values into the equation

leads us to

\frac{x}{y}=9

x=9y

y=\frac{1}{9}x

This represents the necessary equation depicting the area Felicia covered, y, in terms of the number of tiles utilized, x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Overall students=50

35 -> j.

25 -> r.

16-> j.+r.

35-16=19 students joined j.

25-16=9 joined r.

50-19+9

50-28=22

The answer is 22

It would be nice if you could give me the brainliest rating. Best of luck!

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The result to your inquiry is 2 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Hank's cows yield = 4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra's cows yield = 5 1/2 and 5 2/3

Process:

1.- Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

For Hank: (16 + 3)/4 = 19/4 and (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8.

For Debra: (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2 and (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3.

2.- Add Hank's and Debra's milk quantities:

Hank: 19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8.

Debra: 11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6.

3.- Subtract Hank's total from Debra's total:

67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24.

Thus, it simplifies to 55/24.

- Convert back to a mixed number:

2

24 55

7

Where 55/24 equals 2 7/24.

4.- Conclusion:

Debra produced 2 7/24 more milk than Hank.

An angle bisector always creates two acute angles. find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false.
Inessa [12570]
An acute angle measures under 90°. An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal neighboring angles. For example, if you have an angle of 270°, which exceeds a semicircle, it divides into two angles of 135° each. In this instance, the resulting angles are not acute; rather, they are obtuse.
