On my 30th birthday, I plan to light 30 candles on my cake and blow 30% of them. How many candles will stay lit after I'm done?

30 candles equal 100%

30% of 100% equals 9 candles from a total of 100 candles

After extinguishing 30% of the candles, 9 will remain lit.

To form a proportion, arrange it like this:

———- = ————
This can be used for similar future problems.

Position 100 on the left side as the denominator, since percentages always reference 100. On the right side, put 30 as the denominator over the total. Place x in the top portion on the right, representing the unknown part. In the numerator on the right, include 30%/the percentage value.
Multiply across and then handle the remaining division.
1) Perform the multiplication: 30 candles x 30 = 900
2) Execute the division: 900/100 = 9

After blowing out 30% of your 39 candles, 9 candles will remain lit.

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 [12383]

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.

Manuel wants to go snowboarding with his friends. The closest ski and snowboard resort is approximately 20 miles west and 50 mil
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the distance from Manuel’s home to the resort.

S1 = √50²+20²

S1 = √2500+400

S1 = √2900

S1 = 53.85m

Next, we find the distance from Manuel's home to his friend’s residence.

S2 = √15²+10²

S2 = √225+100

S2 = √325

S2 = 18.03m

The distance between the two boys and the resort will be represented as ∆S = S2 - S1.

∆S = 53.84 - 18.03

∆S = 35.81m
