Answer:

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the number of small marbles be x

ii) let the number of medium marbles be y

iii) let the number of large marbles be z

iv) Amy has 5 times as many small marbles as medium marbles therefore we can write  5y = x

v) the number of large marbles is two more than than three times the number of medium marbles therefore we can write

   z = 3y + 2

vi) Amy has a total of 560 marbles therefore we can write x + y + z = 560

vii) Therefore from i) we can write x  = 5y

viii) using vii) and v) in vi) we can write

    x + y + z  = 5y + y + 3y + 2 = 560

ix) Therefore 9y = 558   .... therefore y = \frac{558}{9} = 62

x) Therefore from i) we get x  = y \times 5 = 62 \times 5 = 310

xi) Therefore z  = (3 \times 62) + 2 =  188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle described in the question has been sketched in the picture attached below :

From the triangle, we could solve for X, which is the base of the triangle using trigonometry :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin 30° = x / 12

0.5 = x / 12

x = 12 * 0.5

x = 6 feets

Hence base, x = 6 feets
