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

Jim mowed 5/9 of a lawn. Sarah mowed 1/3 of the lawn. What fraction of the lawn remained to be mowed?

Answers

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 1/3 is the same as 3/9, 5/9 + 3/9 = 8/9. so then 9/9 - 8/9 = 1/9. Giving them 1/9 of the lawn remained to be mowed.

Negative numbers go first, the greater the number, the smaller the number.

-√19,-3.5, √20, 4.9, 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the square root of 19 ( Which you can't)  always have the negatives go first because negatives are the greatest. Find the square root of 20, which equals 4.4, then divided 3/2 which gives you 1.5. I hope this helped! I'm not the best at explaining either.

A rental car company is running two specials. Customers can pay $50 to rent a compact car
for the first day plus $6 for each additional day, or they can rent the same car for $20 the
first day and $12 for every additional day beyond that. Nora notices that, given the number
of additional days she wants to rent the car for, the two specials are equivalent. How many
additional days does Nora want?
Write a system of equations, graph them, and type the solution

Answers

Answer:

After 5 additional days it will be equal

Step-by-step explanation:

1st special: 6x + 50

2nd special: 12x + 20

6x + 50 = 12x + 20

Subtract 20 from both sides;

6x + 30 = 12x

Subtract 6x from both sides;

30 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6;

x = 5

Select all angles that MUST be supplementary to 9

Answers

Answer:

Angles supplementary to angle 9 = Angle 10, 7, 5, 1, 4, 3, 15, 12, 24, 22, 20, 19, and angle 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the vertical, and corresponding angles theorem to find congruent angles.

Look for linear pairs (adjacent(next to each other, or share a side) angles that make 180° or a straight angle) from the corresponding angles.

Something is supplementary if it adds to 180 degrees.

The vertical angles theorem states that pairs of opposite angles made by interesecting lines are congruent.

The corresponding angles theorem states that corresponding or angles relative to the same position are congruent if the transversal crosses at least 2 parallel lines.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
O y > 2x + 2
O yz 2x + 1
Oy> 2x + 1
O y z 2x+2

Answers

By analyzing the graph, we will see that the inequality is:

y > 2x + 1

How to know the inequality represented by the graph?

From a first look, we can see two things.

The line is a dashed line, so the values on the line are not solutions.The shaded region is above that line.

From that we can conclude that the inequality is something like:

y > line.

To find the equation of the line, we can look at the graph.

We can see that it intercepts the y-axis at y = 1, and for each increase of one unit in the x-axis increases 2 units on the y-axis, so the line is:

2x + 1

Then the inequality is:

y > 2x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two pairs of time and price:

  (t, P) = (0, 250)  and  (5, 500)

We can put these into the 2-point form of the equation for a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  P = (500 -250)/(5 -0)(t -0) +250

  P = 250/5t +250

  P = 50t +250 . . . . Madelyin's cost equation

You and your friend are selling magazine subscriptions for a fundraiser. After w weeks, you have sold (3w+8) subscriptions and your friend has sold (6w+6) subscriptions.

Answers

Answer:

3w-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, after w weeks you sold (3w+8) subscriptions and your friend sold (6w+6) subscriptions.

So, the difference between the number of subscriptions your friend has sold and you have sold after w weeks = (6w+6)-(3w+8)

=6w+6-3w-8

=3w-2

Hence, the required expression is 3w-2.
