As the ratio is 8/5 the number of children would be 390x5/8 = 243.75 so 244 children

A skate ramp is 4.2 meters long. It rises up 1.7 meters. What’s is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Θ

≈

Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.

I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.

which I think is a pretty steep ramp for a wheelchair.
There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around

, but we can rule that out as a value for a ramp wedge angle.

A satellite flies 55584 miles in <br> 7.72 hours. How many miles has it flown in 23.19 hours?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Miles flown in 23.19 hours = 166968 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A satellite flies 55584 miles in 7.72 hours

We will find the unit rate first,

Unit rate = \frac{55584}{7.72}

Unit rate = 7200 miles per hour

Miles flown in 23.19 hours,

Miles flown = 7200 * 23.19

Miles flown = 166968 miles

Hence,

Miles flown in 23.19 hours = 166968 miles

If a and b are real numbers and if y = ax + b is a direct variation equation, what do you know about a and b?
Alenkasestr [34]
y = ax + b
 We observe that the given equation is the generic equation of a line.
 Where,
 a = represents the slope of the line. That is, the rate of change of the given function. (in this case it is constant).
 b = is the cut point with the y axis.

Billy wants to live in the area defined by y &lt; 3x − 6. Explain how you can identify the houses in which Billy is interested i
Nadusha1986 [10]
Check the picture below.

to graph an inequality, you pretty much first off, need to graph the "equality" or equation, so for y < 3x − 6, first off, graph the line <span>y = 3x − 6.

and then you do a "true" or "false" check.

now, if you look at the line below, it splits the grid in two sections, so, let's check a point in either section, if one is false, the other is true and the other way around.

so, let's check the region on the left-hand-side, hmmmm say point 0,0, the origin.

y < 3x - 6

y = 0,  x = 0  thus

0 < 3(0) - 6

0 < -6   <--- now, is that really true? is 0 lesser than -6? not quite, is false.

recall that on the negative side, the closer to 0, the larger the value, so -1 is much larger than -1,000,000.

because the point 0,0 yielded a false inequality, that region is the "false region" and thus not shaded, therefore, the other side must be the "true region", and thus we shade that then.

we can run a quick check on that btw, say on point 4,4

y =4,   x = 4  thus

4 < 3(4) - 6

4 < 12 - 6

4 < 8    <---- yeap, is true, 4 is lesser/smaller than 8.

hmm ohh yes, the line needs to be dashed for a < or >, because it "has that boundary but it does not include it", unlike </span>⩽ and ⩾, which is a solid line, because it has that boundary and it includes it too.
