Set up a ratio. But first convert the height of the puzzle to feet so we are comparing the same unit of measure.


STEP 1
convert 24 inches to feet

12 inches= 1 foot

24 inches= 2 feet


STEP 2
set up ratio.

= 2 feet/556 feet or 2:556
simplify both by 2

= 1 ft/278 ft or 1:278


ANSWER: 1/278 or 1:278 (can be written either way)

Hope this helps! :)

recycling the right things in the right places - for example, receipts cannot be recycled, and if they are out into paper recycling then this can often cause problems and a whole batch of paper to be recycled can be ruined. this means that a whole bunch of stuff has to go to waste.

If f(x) = x2 – 1 and g(x) = 2x – 3, what is the domain
Ainat [17]
Begin by finding the lowest point the quadratic equation can be, the vertex; 

x²-1= is just a translation down of the graph x²

vertex; (0, -1) and since the graph of x² would extend to infinity beyond that point, we can say {x| x≥0} for domain and {y| y≥-1}. 

For the linear equation, it is possible to have all x and y values, therefore range and domain belong to all real numbers. 

Hope I helped :)

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm
saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation ae^{ct}=d. We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}

e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

We know that \text{ln}(e)=1, so we will get:

ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

Therefore, our solution would be t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}.
