ANSWER

Emma is 44" tall

EXPLANATION

We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.

At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.

Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.

Let Emma's height be x.

The ratio of David's shadow to height is:

42 : 66 or 42 / 66

For Emma, it is:

28 : x or 28 / x

That means that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{42}{66}\text{ = }\frac{28}{x} \\ \text{Solve for x by cross-multiplying:} \\ 42\cdot\text{ x = 66 }\cdot\text{ 28} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{66\cdot\text{ 28}}{42} \\ x\text{ = 44 inches} \end{gathered}

So, Emma is 44" tall.

Use the formula for the area of a triangle, and fill in the given information.
.. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. 36 in^2 = (1/2)*b*(9 in)
.. (72 in^2)/(9 in) = b . . . . . . . . multiply by 2, divide by 9 in
.. 8 in = b

The base is "none of the above", 8 inches.

_____
This question has a couple of problems:
.. 1) area is not measured in "inches"; it is measured in "square inches."
.. 2) ALL of the offered answer choices are INCORRECT.

Of the people who prefer mocha, the relative frequency of them preferring it cold is
WITCHER [35]

Answer

1) Relative frequency of prefering cold mocha amongst mocha drinkers = 0.32

2) Relative frequency of prefering a latte amongst hot coffee drinkers = 0.22

3) Type of coffee that has the highest percentage of people who prefer it cold = Regular

Explanation

1) Relative frequency of prefering cold mocha amongst mocha drinkers is given as

Relative frequency

= (Number of mocha drinkers who prefer it cold) ÷ (Total number of mocha drinkers)

Number of mocha drinkers who prefer it cold = 12

Total number of mocha drinkers = 12 + 25 = 37

Relative frequency = 12 ÷ 37 = 0.32

2) Relative frequency of prefering a latte amongst hot coffee drinkers is given as

Relative frequency

= (Number of latte drinkers who prefer it hot) ÷ (Total number of hot coffee drinkers)

Number of latte drinkers who prefer it hot = 19

Total number of hot coffee drinkers = 11 + 25 + 19 + 30 = 85

Relative frequency = (19/85) = 0.22

3) Percentage of people who prefer cold coffee for each coffee type

Regular

(17/28) = 60.7%

Mocha

(12/37) = 32.4%

Latte

(20/39) = 51.3%

Cappuccino

(27/57) = 47.4%

Regular coffee drinkers have the highest percentage of drinkers who prefer it cold.

Hope this Helps!!!
