If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
b.
If we drop a perpendicular line from B to AC and mark the point D on AC, we have 2 right triangles, with AD = DC = 16 cm.
So tan O = BD/16 = 15/8
BD = (16*15)/8
= 2*15
= 30.
So the area of triangle ABC = 16*30
= 480 cm^2.
Answer:.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The 5 would go on the outside
and four would go on the inside. Because 5 can't go into 4 evenly, add a decimal and a 0 after the 4. now we have 40 divided by 5. the answer is 0.8
Answer:
407.22 foot is the boat from the base of the lighthouse
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement: An observer on top of a 50-foot tall lighthouse sees a boat at a 7° angle of depression.
Let x foot be the distance of the object(boat) from the base of the lighthouse
Angle of depression = 
[Alternate angle]
In triangle CAB:
To find AB = x foot.
Using tangent ratio:
Here, BC = 50 foot and 
then;
or
Simplify:
AB = x = 407.217321 foot
Therefore, the boat from the base of the light house is, 407.22'
2.5 years = 30 months
7500$ in 30 months
x$ in 1 month
___________________
x = (7500*1)/30 = 250
The answer is 250$/month.
