Answer:

1.3125 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given information, we can set up a proportion;

\frac{2.1gallons}{1.6minutes} = \frac{xgallons}{1minute}

Now, we can cross multiply to solve for x.

2.1 = 1.6x
x = 1.3125 gallons

Answer:  1.3125 gallons

Step-by-step explanation: The machine pumps 2.1 gallons of water every 1.6 minutes. 1.6 minutes is 1.6x more than 1 minute. So, we have to divide 1.6 by 1.6. Next, we have to divide 2.1 by 1.6. We can make this a bit easier by multiplying both of them by 10 to get 21/16 which is 1.3125.

A person whose eye level is 20 feet above the ground is looking at a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the building
Inessa [10]
Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

An animal shelter has $2500 in its reserve fund. The shelter charges $40 per animal placement and would like to have at least $4
densk [106]

Answer:

Step 1

Write and solve the inequality:

2,500 + 40a ≥ 4,000, or 40a ≥ 1,500

a ≥ 37.5

Step 2

If the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs,

or 40 animals, that will be enough to meet

its goal, because a = 40 is a solution to the

inequality a ≥ 37.5.
