Step-by-step explanation:
an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.
2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.
that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.
so,
42 × f = 6
f = 6/42 = 1/7
the length of Joel's shadow is then
20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft
I think it would be easier to covert the fractions to decimals here
-1.2 * 1 1/5 / 3/10
= -1.2 * 1.2 / 0.3
= -1.44 / 0.3
= - 4.8 answer
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 x 2 = 4/5
4/5 x 2, or 2/5 x 4 = 1 3/5
1 3/5 x 2, or 2/5 x 8 = 3 1/5
3 1/5 + 2/5, or 2/5 x 9 = 3 3/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75% off.
The expression written by him for this situation is d - 0.75d.
Here, the part d represents the sale price before discount and the part 0.75d is the discount amount.
The expression written by Rena is 0.25d.
Here, the part 0.25d is the price after discount. Since 75% is the discount, the rate after disount is 25% and 25% of d is 0.25d.
Irrational !! a rational number is a number such as -3/7 that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.
