In 1845, many mill girls earned 40 cents a day for working 12 hours. In 2001, the minimum, or lowest allowed, wage in the United States was $5.15 hour. About how much did the mill girls earn an hour?

  3 1/3 cents per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1845 earnings per hour were ...

  (40 cents)/(12 hours) = (10/3) cents/hour = 3 1/3 cents/hour

Comment on the rate of increase

That's an average rate of increase of wages of about 3.28% per year, substantially higher than the 2.04% average rate of inflation over that period. The mill girls' wage is roughly equivalent to $0.78 per hour in 2001 dollars.

c) yes, because of asa or aas

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
