Answer:
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----------> Paul and Steve heights
y----------> Theresa height
we know that
1 1/2-------> 3/2---> 1.5
1 1/3-------> 4/3----> 1.33
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height
x=1.5y-16-------> equation 1
Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height
x=1.33y-6------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
1.5y-16=1.33y-6
1.5y-1.33y=-6+16
0.17y=10----------> y=58.82 in
x=1.5y-16------> 1.5*(58.82)-16------> x=72.24 in
the answer is
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:
Price of jacket = $75
Markdown = 33.33...%
Sales tax = 8%
First we have to find the price of the jacket after the markdown.
75-33.33(75)
75-(25)
50
New price of jacket = $50
Now to calculate the price with sales tax.
50+0.08(50)
50+(4)
54
Use cross multiplication. 42 inches is your 100%. your fraction would be 42/100
then, to find by what percent it has increased, since 47 is your new height, and you are trying to find the percentage for that, the fraction will be 47/X.
42 47
----- -----
100 X
(100 * 47) / 42 = X
100 multiplied by 47, then divided by 42, the result is X
your answer should be 111%. Subtract 100 from 111, to get the increased percent.
Answer: 11%
I did this last year, so it may be a little rusty. If im wrong, hopefully someone will correct me, if not, im pretty sure this looks rights. Your methods may also be different. i use cross mulitplication
The histogram shows the heights in meters of trees in a certain section of a park.
How many trees are less than 20 meters tall?
Answer: From the given histogram, we clearly see:
There is 1 tree with height less than 8 meters
There are 1 + 2 = 3 trees with height less than 12 meters
There are 3 + 2 = 5 trees with height less than 16 meters
There are 5 + 4 =9 trees with height less than 20 meters.
Therefore, the correct option is B. 9
