Answer:

12.8 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the wire on the shorter pole (AC)

= √(6^2+8^2)

= √100

= 10 m.

The 2 triangles are similar so

10/16 = 8/x      where x is height of taller pole.

10x = 128

x = 12.8m

A chef uses 3 3/4 pounds of semolina flour and 1 5/8 pound whole wheat flour for each batch of pasta she makes.one week she uses
Maurinko [17]
It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
                                              n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
                                              n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.

4. Cross multiply (10•6) (15•n) 15n=60 you do the opposite operation so instead of multiply 15•n you divided 15 from n. And what u do on one side u do on both. So divide 15 from 60 and u get 4.
