The figure shows the location of 3 points around a lake. the length of the lake, bc, is also shown. (figure is not drawn to scale.) a picture of a right triangle abc with right angle at b is shown. the length of the side ac is labeled as 9 miles. the length bc of the triangle is labeled as 6 miles. this length bc is also the length of an irregular gray shaded shape. which of the following options is closest to the distance (in miles) between points a and b? 6.71 miles 7.35 miles 8.66 miles 10.82 miles.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
