I'll help you on the first one.
Anya test scores are 78 and 91.
She has one more test and want to average between an 80-89 inclusive.
Lets set up a inequality and call the remaining test x.
80<=(78+91+x)/3<=89
Multiply everything by 3
240<=169+x<=267
Subtract 169 from everything
71<=x<=98
In interval notation that would be [71,98]
In set notation that would be{x|71<=x<=98}
For the graph, I don't really understand. I think you just graph 71<=x<=98.

Converting 7/8 to a decimal.

Elza [17]

Ok, so if you want to convert 7/8 into a decimal, you just simply divide 7 into 8. Well that should be 0.875 because 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875 Hope that helped!!! :)

A fire ranger stands atop an observation tower 70 feet above the ground and sees a fire in the distance. She measures the angle

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$103.78\:\mathrm{ft}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form a right triangle where the distance between the ranger's current position and fire is the hypotenuse of the triangle. In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we have:

$\tan 34^{\circ}=\frac{70}{x}$ , where $x$ is the distance between the base of the tower and the fire.
