The temperature in Anchorage, Alaska at 6:00 am was 2°C. If the temperature drops 2 degrees each hour, what is the temperature in degrees celsius at 2:00 pm
Answer:
-12°C
Step-by-step explanation:
6AM = 2°C
8AM= -2°C
10AM= -6°C
12AM= -8°C
2PM= -12°C
the temperature in degrees Celsius at 2:00 pm would be -14°C.
To find the temperature in degrees Celsius at 2:00 pm, we need to determine the number of hours that have passed from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm, and then calculate the temperature decrease accordingly.
From 6:00 am to 2:00 pm, a total of 8 hours have passed (6 hours from 6:00 am to 12:00 pm, and 2 hours from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm).
Given that the temperature drops 2 degrees Celsius each hour, we can multiply the number of hours (8) by the rate of temperature decrease (2 degrees/hour):
Temperature decrease = 8 hours × 2 degrees/hour = 16 degrees
Starting with a temperature of 2°C at 6:00 am, if the temperature drops 16 degrees Celsius over 8 hours, we can subtract 16 from the initial temperature:
Temperature at 2:00 pm = 2°C - 16°C = -14°C
Therefore, the temperature in degrees Celsius at 2:00 pm would be -14°C.

Given: AB ∥ DC , m CB =62°, m∠DAB=104° Find: m∠DEA, m∠ADB
Answer: m∠DEA = _________, m∠ADB =_______
Answer:
The values of the angles are;
m∠DEA = 62°, m∠ADB = 45°
Step-by-step explanation:
Specify an arc or an angle three letters
Angle opposite an arc on the circumference
m DA ≅ m CB = 62° (Arc between parallel lines are congruent)
∠CAB = 1/2 × m CB = 1/2 × 62° = 31° (Angle at the center = 2 × Angle st the circumference)
∠DBA = 31° (Angle at the center m DA = 2 × Angle st the circumference)
m∠DAB = 104° (Given)
∠ADB = 180° - m∠DAB - ∠DBA = 180° - 104° - 31° = 45° (Interior angles of triangle ΔADB
m∠ADB = 45°
∠AEB = 180 - ∠CAB - ∠DBA = 180° - 31° - 31° = 118°
∠AEB ≅ ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
∠DEA ≅ ∠CEB (Vertically opposite angles)
∠AEB + ∠COD + ∠DEA + ∠CEB = 360° (Sum of angles at a point)
118° + 118° + ∠DEA + ∠CEB = 360°
∠DEA + ∠CEB = 360° - 118° - 118° = 124°
Given that ∠DEA = ∠CEB we have;
2 × ∠DEA = 124°
∠DEA = 124°/2 = 62°
m∠DEA = 62°.

round 12.1975 to the nearest thousandth.
Answer:
12.198
Step-by-step explanation:
the thousandth is the third digit after the decimal point, so you round the next number after it, which is 5. so you round it up, ends with 12.198
We get 12.198 after rounding it to the nearest thousandth.
How to round off decimal places?The rounding off decimal places is similar to the basic round-off. We check the previous number. If it is greater than or equal to 5, we increase the value up to which we are rounding by 1, or else keep it the same when the previous digit is less than 5.
The order of digits for decimal places is opposite to the normal number system.
In the number system we have units place, then tens place, then hundreds place, then thousands place, and like that.
In the decimal number system, we start from the highest and go on decreasing.
The first decimal place is the tenth place.
The second decimal place is the hundredth place.
The third decimal place is the thousandth place.
And so on.
How to solve the question?In the question, we are asked to round 12.1975 to the nearest thousandth.
As discussed above, the nearest thousandth means rounding off up to the third decimal place.
So we round off 12.1975 up to the third decimal place, that is, we round off up to 7.
The next digit is 5, so we increase 7 by 1 to 8.
Thus, we get 12.198 after rounding it to the nearest thousandth.

A rectangular box with a square base contains 24 cubic feet. if the height of the box is 18 inches, how many feet are there in each side of the base?
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
V = Lwh
the volume (given) = 24 ft^3
the height (given) = 18" = 1.5'
24 = L*w*1.5
divide both sides by 1.5
16 = Lw
You need to find the number of feet in each side of the base
since the box has a square base
L = W
AND, found above, L*w = 16
so 4*4= 16

It will take five people 144 minutes to paint the orchard.
12 people can paint the orchard in one hour, which is 60 minutes.
If there are five people, it will take them 12 × 60 / 5 = 144 minutes to paint the orchard.
So the answer is 144
Here's the explanation:
We know that the number of people and the time it takes to paint the orchard are inversely proportional. This means that if we increase the number of people, the time it takes to paint the orchard will decrease.
We can also set up a proportion to find the time it takes five people to paint the orchard. The proportion will look like this:
12 people : 5 people :: 60 minutes : x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
12 × x = 5 × 60
x = 5 × 60 / 12
x = 144 minutes
Therefore, it will take five people 144 minutes to paint the orchard.

What is the tangent ratio of KJL? (Question and answers provided in picture.)
Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given triangle JKL is an equilateral triangle.
Therefore, all three sides of this triangle will be equal in measure.
Side JK = JL = KL = 48 units
Perpendicular LM drawn to the base JK bisects the base in two equal parts JM and MK.
By applying tangent rule in ΔJML,
tan(∠KJL) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{LM}}{\text{JM}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{LM}}{24}[/tex]
Since, Sin(K) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
Sin(60)° = [tex]\frac{\text{LM}}{48}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\text{LM}}{48}[/tex]
LM = 24√3
Now, tan(∠KJL) = [tex]\frac{\text{LM}}{24}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{24\sqrt{3} }{24}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.

ACME Hardware is introducing a new product called Greener Cleaner. Complete the table by finding the cost per milliliter for each size based on the sales price. One liter is 1,000 milliliters. (Answer the questions too, please!)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). 'Per ml' cost of the small size = [tex]\frac{\text{Sale price of small cane}}{\text{Amount of liquid}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.50}{250}[/tex]
= $0.018
'Per ml' cost of the medium size = [tex]\frac{\text{Sale price of medium cane}}{\text{Amount of liquid}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9.95}{500}[/tex]
= $0.0199
'Per ml' cost of the large size = [tex]\frac{\text{Sale price of large cane}}{\text{Amount of liquid}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{16.95}{1000}[/tex]
= $0.01695
Therefore, expression to compare per ml cost of three containers will be,
$0.0199 > $0.018 > $0.01695
b). Least expensive way to buy the cleaner is to choose the container with least per ml cost.
Cost of 1500 ml cleaner = Cost of 1000 ml cleaner + Cost of 500 ml of cleaner
= Cost of 1000 ml cleaner container + Cost of 'n' containers of 250 ml container
Total cost of 1500 ml = $16.95 + $4.50n
= 16.95 + 2(4.5) [For n = 2]
= $25.95
c). Most expensive way to purchase 1500 ml cleaner is to choose the most expensive cleaners
Cost of 1500 ml cleaner = Cost of 'n' containers of medium size containers
= 9.95(n)
= 9.95(3)
= $29.85
Which of the following steps can be performed so that the square root property may easily be applied to 2x2 = 16? (1 point)
1. The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is 16, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.
2. The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.
3. The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 16 before applying the square root property.
4. The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is 16, so divide both sides by 16 before applying the square root property.
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Option \ 2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2x^2 =16[/tex]
The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.
The x variable should be isolated on one side of the equation. The x variable is squared so before performing the square root property where we take the square root of both sides, we divide both sides by 2, then take the square root of both sides.
Dividing both sides by 2.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2x^2 }{2} =\frac{16}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x^2 =8[/tex]
Taking the square root of both sides.
[tex]\sqrt{x^2 } =\pm \sqrt{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=\pm 2\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² = 16
Since x is completely squared and and 2 isn't , so we need to divide both sides by 2. As to find x , we need to "isolate" x first so that is why we need to get rid of 2 with the x². We'll divide both sides by 2 in order to get rid of 2.
Dividing both sides by 2
=> x² = 8
Now , that is the x is isolated so we'll take square root on both sides
=> x = ±2√2
Terri graphed a system of linear inequalities. Which ordered pairs are a part of the solution set for this system of linear inequalities? Select two that apply.
(-1, 5)
(2, -4)
(7, -1)
(4, 6)
(5, 2)
Answer: (2, -4) and (7, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, the solutions of the system of inequalities are all the points that lie on the blue shaded part of the graph or in the solid line.
So, in order to see if the points are solutions of the system, then you need to locate the point in the graph and see if it is inside the shaded region or in the solid line (only in the segment that "touches" the shaded region).
Now, we want to find the equation of the solid line, we can see that it passes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0)
A linear relationship can be written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.
For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
Then, in this case, the slope is:
a = (0 - 6)/(6 - 0) = -1.
And to find the value of b, we have that when x = 0, y = 6.
y = 6 = -1*0 + b
6 = b
The equation is:
y = -1*x + 6
(-1, 5) is not in the blue region nor in the solid line, so this is not a solution.
(7, - 1) this point is near the solid line, let's test it:
y(7) = -1*7 + 6 = -1
So the point (7, -1) is on the solid line, and is the other solution of the system.

Bismah is building 5 raised garden beds in a community garden. Each raised garden bed will need 1 7 8 bags of soil. How many bags of soil will Bismah need for all 5 raised garden beds?
Answer:
890 if it’s 178 bags per garden bed
Step-by-step explanation:
since 1 raised garden bed is supposedly 178 bags, 5 would be 890 since it’s just 5x178. if it’s not 178 bags (which would make sense since 178 is a big number), just multiply 5 by that number and if it’s a decimal round up to the next whole number if it’s about how many bags Bismah needs to buy, since you can’t by 1/2 of a bag
Bismah will need a total of 890 bags of soil for all the 5 raised garden. beds.
What is Multiplication?.Multiplication is one of the basic operations in mathematics where a number is added repeatedly to itself up to the times as the value of the other number.
That is, if a number p is multiplied to another number q, p × q, implies that p is added repeatedly to itself q times or q is added repeatedly to itself up to p times.
Number of garden beds Bismah has raised = 5
Number of bags of soil needed for a garden bed = 178 bags
Number of bags of soil needed for 5 garden bed = 178 × 5 bags
= 890 bags
Hence Bismah would need 890 bags of soil for the 5 raised garden beds in the community garden.

Answer:
D. NeitherStep-by-step explanation:
The equation that Dimitri and Jillian were trying to solve is expressed as
(x+1)(x+3) = 12. They are both solving this equation to get the value of x.
Based on the their suggestion, Jillian strategy would have been the best and the only one that will work for us in solving the equation but he didn't take cognizance of 12 when using the formula in his second step hence None of them are correct. The following steps should have been taken;
Step 1: Multiply out the expression (x+1)(x+3)
= (x+1)(x+3)
= x(x)+ 3x+x+1(3)
= x² + 3x + x + 3
= x² + 4x + 3
He got x² + 4x + 3 on expansion
Step 2: He should have rewrote the equation as shown;
x² + 4x + 3 = 12
x² + 4x + 3 -12 = 0
x² + 4x -9 = 0
Step 3: He used the quadratic formula to factorize the expression x² + 4x + 3 where a = 1, b = 4 anad c = -9
x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a
x = (-4±√(4)²-4(1)(-9))/2(1)
x = -4±√16+36/2
x = (-4±2√13)/2
x = (-4+2√13)/2 or (-4-2√13)/2
x = -2+√13 or -2-√13
Hence Neither of them is correct. Jillian is almost correct but he should have equated the equation to zero by taking 12 into consideration before factorizing.
