Answer:

The fish will be at a distance of 5 3/4 ft from the water surface at 4:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find a rational number that represents the position of the Fish at 4pm

Initially it was at a depth of 2 1/2 ft below the water surface

At 4pm, it went 3 1/4 ft further

Thus, its position with respect to the water surface at 4 pm will be;

2 1/2 + 3 1/4

= 5/2 + 13/4 = (10 + 13)/4 = 23/4 = 5 3/4 ft

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

The facts we have are the height of the small lighthouse is 8, and the base is 2.5. The base of the big lighthouse is 10.

The factor between the base of the big lighthouse and small lighthouse is 4 (10/2.5).

If we apply this to the height, 8x4 = 32

In the diagram below, P and Q are points on a circle with centre O.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

<h2>∠PQT = 72°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the diagram shown, ∠OPQ = ∠OQP = 18°. If PQT is a tangent to the circle, it can be inferred that line OQ is perpendicular to line QT. Ths shows that ∠OQT = 90°.

Also from the diagram, ∠OQP + ∠PQT = ∠OQT;

∠PQT  = ∠OQT -  ∠OQP

Given ∠OQP = 18° and ∠OQT = 90°

∠PQT = 90°-18°

∠PQT = 72°

S is inversely proportional to t<br> When s = 0.5, t = 7<br> Work out s when t = 0.8
defon

Given:

s is inversely proportional to t.

When s = 0.5, t = 7.

To find:

The value of s when t=0.8.

Solution:

s is inversely proportional to t.

s\propto \dfrac{1}{t}

s=\dfrac{k}{t}       ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Putting s=0.5 and t=7, we get

0.5=\dfrac{k}{7}

0.5\times 7=k

3.5=k

Putting k=3.5 in (i), we get

s=\dfrac{3.5}{t}

This is the equation of proportionality.

Putting t=0.8, we get

s=\dfrac{3.5}{0.8}

s=4.375&#10;

Therefore, the value of s is 4.375 when t=0.8.

Karen has 4h storyboiks. Karen's storybook collection is 2/3 of what Mary's collection is. How many storybooks do they have in a
Dafna11 [192]
In order to find out the answer , you just need to count :
Let's say that mary's collection is symbolized by x

2/3  x     =   4h

x             = 3/2 . 4h

x           =    6h

The storybooks they have in total would be : 6h  + 4h = 10 h

hope this helps

Mhanifa please help! Explain how you can use the perpendicular bisector of a segment to draw an isosceles triangle.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If you construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, every point on the perpendicular bisector will be the same distance from both point A and point B.

To construct an isosceles triangle, you can start from any point on the perpendicular bisector and draw line segments to point A and to point B
