There are many ways to answer. The x represents some number. We don't know what the number is, but we know that it must be less than or equal to 50. Put another way, the number can be anything you want as long as it doesn't go past 50. We say that 50 is the so called "ceiling" more or less.
Some examples:
* An elevator can only hold 50 people at maximum. Therefore, x can be any number smaller than 50 or 50 itself. Having 51 or over will be too much.
* You can only work 50 hours for one stretch of some 2 week period. If x is the number of hours you work, then x must be 50 or less as written by
. So x could be x = 37 as it's less than 50, but x = 62 is not possible.
* For some small ride at a theme park, the seats are designed such that only people 50 inches or less can ride on them. If x is the height of a person in inches, then
means something like x = 37 is possible but x = 62 is too high.
To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34
To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
Answer:
Test A: 40 words per minute
Test B: 54 words per minute
Test C: 44 words per minute
<em><u>Test B has the highest unit rate</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Test A divide 30 by
(30/0.75=40)
Test B divide 78 by
(78/1.5=52)
Test C divide 99 by
(99/2.25=44)
<u>Hope this helps :-)</u>

Im very sure it is C, I'm very positive
Answer:
Probability that Jonas gets an orange is 1/4 and Beth gets a peach is 3/16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here,
The total number of fruits n(S) = 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3
= 16
The total number of oranges n(O) = 4
The total number of peas n(P) = 3
Now,
P(O) = n(O)/n(S)
= 4/16
= 1/4
Again,
P(P)= n(P)/n(S)
= 3/16
