Answer

20 rises are needed.

Explanation

To answer this, we need to first note that

1 ft = 12 inches

10 ft = 10 (12 inches) = 120 inches

So,

1 rise = 6 inches

Let 10 feet or 120 inches consist of x rises

1 rise = 6 inches

x rises = 120 inches

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

(6)(x) = (1) (120)

6x = 120

Divide both sides by 6

(6x/6) = (120/6)

x = 20 rises

drek231 [11]

Answer:

B (3/4,5/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2- x

$\frac{5}{4} = 2 - \frac{3}{4}$

y = 3x - 1

$\frac{5}{4} = 3 \times \frac{3}{4} - 1$

$\frac{5}{4} = \frac{9}{4} - \frac{4}{4}$

Benito spent $1616 to operate his car last year. Some of these expenses are listed below. Benito's only other expense was for ga

Verizon [17]

Subtract all the operating expenses from the amount he spent total and get what's left over is $491. That's what he spent on gas. Divide the number of miles he drove by the amount he spent on the gas to find out what the average cost of the gas was per mile. 491/7270 = .06753. But that is expressed in dollars and we need it in cents. Multiply that decimal by 100 to get 6.75 cents, choice A from above.
