Answer:

45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the model, we need to find the scale of the model to the actual tower.

Since we know the height of both towers, we can use that as the basis.

24 inches : 60 feet

12 inches : 30 feet

6 inches : 15 feet

So the width of the tower is 18 inches wide.

18 inches will then be equal to 12 + 7 inches : 30 + 15 feet

18 inches : 45 feet

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{a = 6 m/s^{2}}$

Use the kinematic equation to solve for acceleration:

$a = \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

Where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the given values:

$a = \frac{65-35}{5}\\\\a = 30 / 5 \\\\=6 m/s^{2}$

Skylar is answering the following math problem: The value of an investment decreased by 10%. The original amount of the investme

Alona [7]

Answer:

The given parameters of the investment are;

The rate of decrease of the investment, r = -10%

The original amount of the investment, P = $75.00

Let 'A' represent the final answer (value of the investment) after the decrease in the investment, 'r', is applied, we have;

The algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer, 'A', is given as follows;

A = P + r·P

Therefore by substituting the given values, we have;

A = $75.00 + (-10/100) × $75.00 = $75.00 - 0.1 × $75.00 = $75.00 - $7.50

A = $75.00 - $7.50 = $67.50

The final amount or answer, A = $67.50

there are 16 bactiria in a beaker and four hours later there are 228 bacteria in the beaker. what is the rate of change per hour

Dominik [7]

Write and solve the appropriate exponential equation:

228 = 16(r)^4, where r is the change per hour in the number of bacteria:

228

------ = r^4 = 14.25.

Taking the fourth root of both sides, we get: r = 1.94 (answer)
