Question is not complete. Complete question is;

Mount Belinda is the highest point in the South Sandwich Islands, with a peak at about 1,370 meters above sea level. The South Sandwich Trench, which lies about 100 kilometers (62 miles) to the east of the South Sandwich Islands, is about 8,428 meters below sea level (at its lowest point).

Part A: What is the difference in elevations between Mount Belinda and the South Sandwich Trench?

Part B: Is the elevation halfway between the peak of Mount Belinda and the South Sandwich Trench above sea level or below sea level? Give your explanation without calculating the exact value.

Part C: What elevation is halfway between the peak Mount Belinda and the South Sandwich Trench?  

Answer:

A) 100478.86 metres

B) Explained below.

C) 50239.43 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached an image showing the elevations as depicted in the question.

MB represents peak of Mount Belinda while SS represents lowest point of South Sandwich Islands.

A) Now, total vertical distance from peak of MB to lowest point of SS is;

8428 + 1370 = 9798 metres

Since the horizontal distance between MB and SS is 100000 metres, then we can use pythagoras theorem to find the Elevation between MB and SS.

If the Elevation is x.

Thus;

x = √(9798² + 100000²)

x = 100478.86 metres

B) The Elevation between peak of MB and lowest point of SS will be halfway below the sea level because the distance from the lowest point of SS from the sea level is 5 times bigger than the distance from peak of MB to the sea level.

C) The halfway Elevation between peak MB and lowest SS will be;

100478.86/2 = 50239.43 metres

If there were no tip, each person would have to pay $5. They pay this much because if the bill is $50 and there are 10 people, would would calculate by 50 divided by 10 which would equal 5 so 10 people pay $5 dollars. The total would be $50.

the ratio of girls to boys in the sixth grade is 5:3. If there are 400 sixth graders, how many boys are there?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750
