To determine this answer, you need to calculate the percentage change.
This involves dividing the difference in lengths by the original length. We begin with the main bridge.

4700 - 2300 = 2400
2400 divided by 4700 equals approximately 51.1% shorter.

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
PIT_PIT [12445]
Answer: 504 Step-by-step explanation: To find the result for the left-leaning poll, Total voters = 900 + 1100 = 2000. Voters who say Trump was responsible = 56% of 2000, which equals 1120. Voters who say otherwise = 44% of 2000, which amounts to 880. For this network, those who say Trump is responsible = 1120 × (900/2000) = 1008000/2000, resulting in 504 registered voters.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

A pile of g pounds of gravel exists in a quarry. During the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile. Two orders of 900 pounds are removed, resulting in the mound holding 1,500 pounds of gravel by day's end. Formulate the equation that accurately illustrates this scenario.

Answer:

The equation that best represents the situation is g+400-1800=1300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial gravel amount = 'g'.

Currently Given:

Throughout the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile.

Thus we can conclude;

Gravel amount after addition = g+400

Also given:

Two orders of 900 pounds are sold and the gravel is taken from the pile.

Hence, two orders of 900 pounds = 2\times 900 = 1800 \ pounds

This leads us to state;

Gravel amount post-removal = g+400-1800

Now Given:

Remaining gravel at the end of day = 1300 pounds.

Therefore, we derive that;

g+400-1800=1300

Consequently, the equation that best describes the scenario is g+400-1800=1300.

Congruent angles have the same measurement.

Let’s evaluate the provided pairs one by one.

A. ∠MKR and ∠OAR

In the diagram, it’s visible that the angle bisector of the right-angled vertices creates angles MKR and OAR.

Thus, they are congruent measuring 45°

B. ∠ONT and ∠MTN

From the diagram, MTN forms a right angle, while ONT is created by bisecting this right angle.

Hence, these angles are not congruent with ∠MTN at 90° and ∠ONT at 45°

C. ∠IRS and ∠MRO

In the diagram, MRO is a right-angle, while IRS results from the bisection of the right angle.

Accordingly, these angles are not congruent with ∠MRO equal to 90° and ∠IRS at 45°

D. ∠URC and ∠TRO

In the diagram, it’s shown that the angle bisector of the right-angled vertices forms angles URC and TRO.

Thus, they are congruent, both measuring 45°

Therefore, the pairs of congruent angles are

A. ∠MKR and ∠OAR and D. ∠URC and ∠TRO

Two ferries travel across a lake 50 miles wide. One ferry goes 5 miles per hour slower than the other. If the slower ferry leave
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first ferry.

Consequently, the second ferry's speed is x-5, as it travels 5 miles per hour slower.

The time taken by the first ferry is calculated as distance divided by speed = \frac{50}{x}

The time taken by the second ferry equals \frac{50}{x-5}.

Since the second ferry departs one hour earlier, the times differ by 1 hour.

\frac{50}{x-5}-\frac{50}{x}=1\\50x-50(x-5)=x(x-5)\\250 = x^2-5x\\x^2-5x-250 =0\\(x-10)(x+5) =0\\x=18.5, -13.5

The speed cannot be negative.

Thus, the speed of the first ferry is determined to be 18.5 mph,

and for the second, slower ferry, it equals 13.5 mph.
