A yardstick casts a shadow of 24 in. At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in. What is the height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch? (1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches

In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13. A jar of the chemical contains 286 of copper. How many grams of zinc does it​ contain?

Answers

Answer: It contains 88 g of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 13.

Ratio can be written as [tex]\dfrac4{13}[/tex]

A jar of the chemical contains 286 g of copper.

Let the quantity of zinc be x.

By using the direct proportion rule:[tex]\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x}{286}=\dfrac{4}{13}\\\\ x=\dfrac{286\times4}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=88[/tex]

Hence,  It contains 88 g of zinc.

Plz answer soon. I need it urgently. Need by today. Will give 15 points.

Answers

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

15.2 * 0.25 - 48.51 ÷ 14.7 = 76/5 * 1/4 - 3.3 = 3.8 - 3.3 = 0.5

(13/44 - 2/11 - 5/66 ÷ 2 1/2) * 1 1/5 = (13/44 - 8/44 - 5/66 * 2/5) * 6/5 =           (15/132 - 4/132) * 6/5 = 11/132 * 6/5 = 1/12 * 6/5 = 1/10

3.2 + 0.8 * (5 1/2 - 3.25) = 3.2 + 4/5 * (22/4 - 13/4) = 3.2 + 9/5 = 3.2 + 2.8 = 5

So after doing all this simplifying and stuff we get 0.5/x = 0.1/5. Using the butterfly method the result is 0.1x = 2.5, multiply both sides by 10 and you get x = 25!! Yayy lol

Write an equation in the form that makes the most sense for the information given. Since the beginning of fall, the little tree in front of Mrs. Wenger's house loses 12 more leaves everyday. After 5 days, it had only 208 leaves remaining.

Answers

Answer:

0 = 208 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since after 5 days the tree only had 208 leaves remaining, assuming that the rate of decay is constant, we can use the following equation to calculate the total number of days (starting at the 5-day mark as 0) until the tree loses all of its leaves. In this equation, the total number of days is represented by the variable x.

0 = 208 - 12x

Now that we have the equation we can solve it...

0 = 208 - 12x ... subtract 208 on both sides

-208 =  -12x   ... divide both sides by -12

17.33 = x

Finally, we can see that after 18 days (not 17.33 because we are counting full days) the tree will have lost all of its leaves.

A submarine dives below the surface, heading downward in five moves. If each move downward was 200 feet, where is the submarine after it is finished diving?

Answers

Given:

A submarine dives below the surface, heading downward in 5 moves.

Each move downward = 200 feet

To find:

The location of submarine after it is finished diving.

Solution:

According to the question,

1 move downward = 200 feet

5 move downward = 5 × 200 feet

                               = 1000 feet

Since, the submarine heading downward in 5 moves, therefore the submarine is 1000 feet downward after it is finished diving.
