At the time that a 55 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 32 feet long, a nearby woman is 5.5 feet tall. Which measure is the closest to the length of the shadow she will cast?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.2ft long shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are given a ratio between the tree/shadow and woman/shadow therefore we are given 3 values and 1 unknown then we can use the Rule of Three to calculate the length of the shadow which we will refer to as x. The Rule of Three simply multiplies the diagonal values and divides by the third value in order to get the missing unknown like so...

55ft tall  <======>  32ft long shadow

5.5ft tall   <======>  x ft long shadow

(5.5 * 32) / 55 =  3.2ft long shadow

Finally, we can see that the woman's shadow would be a 3.2ft long shadow

In a ten pin bowling the highest possible score in a single game is 300. At one point in the season, John had an average score of 177. In his next game he obtained a score of 199 which caused his average to increase to 178. After one more game John would like his average to be 183. is it possible for him to accomplish this. If so what score does he need to make his next game if not explain why not.

Answers

Answer:

John need to get 293 in his next game to bring his average up to 183.

Step-by-step explanation:

John starts with N games played and averaging 177 points per game.

In game N+1, John scored 199 points.

[tex]\frac{177N + 199}{N+1}=178\\177N+199=178N+178\\N=21\\[/tex]

So, John has now played (N+1) = 22 games.

We need to know what score John needs in game 23 to bring his average to 183.

[tex]\frac{177*21 + 199+Y}{23}=183\\3916+Y=4209\\Y=293\\[/tex]

If 2/5 of the books in the library are fiction and 1/4 of the fiction books are science fiction, what fraction of the books in the library are science fiction? check all that apply.
A. 2/5
B. 1/4
C. 4/7
D. 3/7

Answers

I think it’s b if it’s not it’s C

None of the provided options match the correct fraction. The correct fraction is 1/10, which is not listed.

Let's calculate the fraction of science fiction books in the library based on the given information.

If 2/5 of the books in the library are fiction, then the fraction of fiction books in the library is 2/5.

Now, if 1/4 of the fiction books are science fiction, we can find the fraction of science fiction books in the library by multiplying the fraction of fiction books by 1/4:

Fraction of science fiction books = (2/5) * (1/4)

Fraction of science fiction books = 2/20

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

Fraction of science fiction books = 1/10

So, the fraction of books in the library that are science fiction is 1/10.

None of the provided options match the correct fraction. The correct fraction is 1/10, which is not listed.

The pair of points lies on the same line with the given slope. Find x.
(5,8). (x,14); slope = 2
Find x.
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Answers

Answer:

required Value of x is x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points: (5,8) and (x,14) and slope =2 . We need to find value of x.

The formula used to find slope is: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We are given slope =2 , x₁=5, y₁=8, x₂=x, y₂=14

So, we actually need to find value of x₂. Putting values in formula and find value of x

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\2=\frac{14-8}{x-5}\\Solving:\\2(x-5)=6\\2x-10=6\\2x=6+10\\2x=16\\x=\frac{16}{2}\\x=8[/tex]

So, required value of x=8

Find the distance between the two points G(-1,-5) and H(3,-8)

Answers

Answer:

5.099

Step by step explanations:

Input Data :

Point 1(xA,yA)(xA,yA) = (4, 3)

Point 2(xB,yB)(xB,yB) = (3, -2)

Objective :

Find the distance between two given points on a line?

Formula :

Distance between two points = √(xB−xA)2+(yB−yA)2(xB-xA)2+(yB-yA)2

Solution :

Distance between two points = √(3−4)2+(−2−3)2(3-4)2+(-2-3)2

= √(−1)2+(−5)2(-1)2+(-5)2

= √1+251+25

= √2626 = 5.099

Distance between points (4, 3) and (3, -2) is 5.099

help me please

Answers

Answer:

0.07 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming copper sulfate has same density as water

Chemical to water ratio as per given is:

250 kg : 1000 liter = 1 kg : 4 liter

Lab solution is 350 ml

Converting to same ratio as above:

350/(1 + 4) = 70 ml

70 ml : 280 ml = 70 g : 180 ml = 0.07 kg : 180 ml

Answer is 0.07 kg

The probability that Terry buys a sandwich is 0.4.
The probability that Terry gets the bus is 0.9.
Assuming the events are independent, what is the probability that Terry buys a sandwich and gets the bus?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Terry buys a sandwich and gets the bus is 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events are called independent, it means that the happening of one event doesn't affect the happening of other event.

Let A be the event that Terry buys a sandwich

Let B be the event that Terry gets the bus

Then

[tex]P(A) = 0.4\\P(B) = 0.9[/tex]

When two events are independent, their probabilities are multiplied i.e.

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) * P(B)\\= 0.4 * 0.9\\= 0.36[/tex]

Hence,

The probability that Terry buys a sandwich and gets the bus is 0.36
