A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches. Then he measured the

shadow of a flagpole at 125 feet. How tall is the flagpole?(Round to the

nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by rule of three.

Each feet has 12 inches. So

A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches.

So when the real height is of 6 feet, the shadow is of 13 feet + (9/12) feet = 13.75 feet.

When the shadow is of 125 feet, the height is x. So

6 feet - 13.75 feet

x feet - 125 feet

Applying cross multiplication

[tex]13.75x = 6*125[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6*125}{13.75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 54.5[/tex]

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

Jessica is making 2 loaves of bread she needs 3/4 cup of sugar for each loaf her measuring cup only holds 1/4 cup how many times will the cup need to be filled

Answers

Answer:

The cup will be filled 6 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her measuring cup only holds 1/4 cups then we need to find how many 1/4 cups are in 3/4 cups:

(1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) = 3/4

3/4 = 3/4

The measuring cup will have to be filled 3 times for 1 loaf.

If she has 2 loaves that means that she has to fill her 1/4 measuring cup 6 times (because 2 * 3 = 6)

Prove that Dexter is wrong

To prove that Dexter is wrong, we use the following numbers.

[tex]Number = 4[/tex]

The factors are:

[tex]Factor = 1,2\ and\ 4[/tex]

3 factors

Using a greater number:

[tex]Number = 5[/tex]

The factors are:

From the above analysis:

4 has 3 factors and 5 has 2 factors; which shows that 5 has fewer factors

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parent function " y = ∛x" we know that the first graph should have a vertical shift down 2 units, and a horizontal shift 4 units to the right. There is no vertical stretch since there is no coefficient. (Check first graph)

Domain: - ∞ < x < ∞

Work Shown:

Refer to the diagram below. The short leg (opposite the 30 degree angle) is equal to 1 unit, the long leg is equal to sqrt(3) units, and the hypotenuse is 2 units long.

For the reference angle 60 degrees, the opposite leg is sqrt(3) units and the adjacent leg is 1 unit

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards. If the 52 cards are distributed in a random manner among four players in such a way that each player receives 13 cards, what is the probability that each player will receive three picture cards

Answers

Answer:

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards

Remaining card = 52 - 12 = 40

So,

Total number of ways in which 12 picture card is distributed = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]

Now,

The Total number of ways in which Remaining cards are distributed = [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]

So,

Total number of ways of getting 3 picture card and remaining card = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]× [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]

Now,

Total number of ways to distribute 52 cards so that each people get 13 card = [tex]\frac{52!}{13! 13! 13! 13!} = \frac{52!}{ (13!)^{4} }[/tex]

∴ The probability = [tex]\frac{\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }}{\frac{52!}{(13!)^{4} }}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13!)^{4} }{ 52! }[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11.10!)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41.40! }[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{12!}{(3!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{479,001,600}{(6)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(1716)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]

                           = 0.0324

∴ we get

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324

Answer:

The eighth term of the geometric sequence 3, 12, 48 ... is 49,152. You just multiply every number by 4 :)

So, the required 8th term is 49152.

Geometric Series:

The Geometric series formula or the geometric sequence formula gives the sum of a finite geometric sequence.

The sequence will be of the form [tex]\{a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, ..\}[/tex]

Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
Ally told Jair she caught twice as many fish as she actually caught.
Beck told Jair he caught three times as many fish as he actually
caught. If what they told Jair had been true, then Ally would have
caught 75 fewer fish than Beck. How many fish did Beck actually
catch?

Answers

Answer:

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Beck caught 45 fish.

Rowena’s monthly gasoline bill dropped from $83.75 last month to $56.95 this month. Find the percent decrease.
Round your answer to the nearest percent.
Do NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.

Answers

Answer:

The percent decrease was of 32%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent decrease is the decrease multiplied by 100, and divided by the initial value.

Rowena’s monthly gasoline bill dropped from $83.75 last month to $56.95 this month.

So a decrease of 83.75 - 56.95 = $26.80

Percent decrease:

26.80*100/83.75 = 32%

The percent decrease was of 32%.

Trevor is having trouble understanding how the degree of a nonzero constant is 0. Use the expression 3x^0 to help explain this concept to Trevor. A. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the number of its variables. In the expression 3x^0, the value of the exponent is 0. Any number or variable raised to the power of 0 is 1. So, 3x^0 is equivalent to 3(1), or 3. Therefore, the degree of the nonzero constant 3 is 0. B. The degree of a monomial is the coefficient of its variable. In the expression 3x^0, the value of the exponent is 0. Any number or variable raised to the power of 0 is 1. So, 3x^0 is equivalent to 3(1), or 3.
