Using proportions, considering the ratio given in the double number line, it is found that there are 7.04 yards in 4 miles.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that there are 3.52 yards in 2 miles. Hence the following <em>rule of three</em> is used to find the number of yards in 4 miles.

2 miles - 3.52 yards

4 miles - n yards

Applying cross multiplication:

2n = 4 x 3.52

Simplifying by 2:

n = 2 x 3.52

n = 7.04 yards.

There are 7.04 yards in 4 miles.

What is the length of BC in the right triangle below?
gayaneshka [121]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

C. BC = 39 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for BC. Let BC = c, AB = a, and AC = b.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 15² + 36²

Square and simplify:

c² = 225 + 1296

c² = 1521

c = √1521

c = 39 units.

Therefore:

BC = 39 units.

The probability that both of two tossed coins will come down heads is _____. 1/4 1/8 1/16
Elza [17]
<span>The probability of getting heads with both coins being tossed is 1/4. The probability of getting a heads on one coin is 50% (or 1/2) since there is only two possible outcomes, heads or tails. When you factor in two coins, you have to multiply the probabilities together, 1/2 x 1/2, which is how you get the answer of 1/4 or 25%. Another way to reinforce this is that there are 4 possible outcomes to the flips. You could get a heads-heads, tails-heads, heads-tails, or tails-tails. Getting the heads-heads result is 1 out of 4 or 1/4 (25%).</span>
