We essentially have a ratio here:
\frac{shadow}{actual}

Since we know the ratio is going to stay constant at \frac{5}{6}, we can use this to find the height of the lamp along with the information that the total distance from the lamp to the tip of his shadow is 20:
\frac{5}{6}=\frac{20}{h}
5h=120
h=24

Seven students took a quiz. Four of these students received a score above 85 percent. Students who received at least an 85 perce
AfilCa [17]
Four of the 7 students got a sticker, so you need to turn that into a percent. To do that, divide 7 by 4, which gives you .57. That means that 57% of students got a sticker.

What is the middle term of the product of (x + 5)(x + 2)? A.7x B.10x C.18x
torisob [31]
When you use F.O.I.L. on problems you get an answer that looks like this; ax^2 + bx + c. The middle term is bx. To find this term we solve out by multiplication. so x*x + 5*x + 2*x + 5*2 or x^2 + 7x + 10, so the middle term is 7x.

A student has scores of 70 and 80 on two tests. What must the student score on the last test to ensure that her average is great
BigorU [14]
Her average is calculated by the mean, which takes the sum of all her scores and divides it by the number of steps.

Therefore, we just need to set up an inequality using the above formula. I'll call the third test 'x'.

First add all test scores together, divide by 3 and then use ‘>’ to show the left side must be greater than 80:

(70 + 80 + x)/3 > 80

Next, simplify everything. 70 + 80 can be simplified to 150:

(150 + x)/3 > 80

Then multiply both sides by 3. The 3 on the left side cancels out as divide 3 and multiply 3 equals zero:

(150 + x) * 3 > 80 * 3

Now simplify everything again:

150 + x > 240

Now subtract 150 from both sides to isolate the x. 150 - 150 cancels out to zero:

150 + x - 150 > 240 - 150

Now simplify again and you have your answer:

x > 90

From rearranging the inequality, we have found that in her third test (x), she must score above 90 to have an average greater than 80.
