The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"
<h3>
</h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>
We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.
The written equation is:
4*(-15)m = -60m
Why the negative sign is used?
The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

Hi there,
Recall how 7 packs for gum sell for $29.33.
Before we can calculate how much it would cost to sell 3 packs of gum, we must calculate how much it would first cost to sell 1 pack of gum.
The cost of 1 pack of gum is the current total cost divided by the total amount of gum packs you receive at that price.
In this case, the total cost is $29.33, and we receive 7 gum packs at that price.
Therefore, the cost of 1 pack of gum is
, which equates to $4.19.
We now know that each pack of gum costs $4.19.
Hence, 3 packs of gum would cost three times that price.

The cost of 3 packs of gum is $12.57.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
48 square unit
Step-by-step explanation:
For a rectangle, area is given by
A=bh
Where b is base and h is height as shown in the attached diagram
For a triangle, area is given by
A∆=½bh
Given that ½bh=48
Then bh=2*48=96 square units
The overall area is 96 square units.
The area for 1&2 combined will be given by deducting the area of triangle from the overall area
Area is 96-48=48 square units
Answer:
14.077 feet to the nearest thousandth.
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's work out the multiplier:
6 + 5 + 2 = 13.
61/2 = 30.5
- so the multiplier is 30.5/13 = 2.34615
The longest piece refers to the 6 in the ratio its length
= 6 * 2.34615
= 14.0769 ft.
