Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming 10 cups of lemon-lime soda and 5 cups of orange soda make 15 cups of punch, we can write proportions for each problem.
x / 130 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch
x = 86.67 cups lemon-lime soda
y / 130 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch
y = 43.33 cups orange soda
x / 65 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch
x = 43.33 cups lemon-lime soda
y / 65 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch
y = 21.67 cups orange soda
x / 195 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch
x = 130 cups lemon-lime soda
y / 195 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch
y = 65 cups orange soda
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."

2/3lb = 0.6666 lb
7/8lb = 0.875 lb
The average change of altitude per minute would simply be
the ratio of distance descended over time. That is:
average change of altitude = distance / time
average change of altitude = 0.44 mile / 0.8 minutes
<span>average change of altitude = 0.55 mile / minute</span>
