Answer:
10.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have two similar triangles:
- One consists of the mailbox, its shadow and the hypothenuse
- The other one consists of the tree, its shadow and the hypothenuse
The two triangles are similar, so they have same proportions between their sides: therefore, we can apply the rule of three:
where
m = 36 in is the height of the mailbox
is the shadow of the mailbox
t is the height of the tree
is the length of the shadow of the tree
Solving for t, we find the height of the tree:
And since
1 feet = 12 inches
The height of the tree in feet is
1). To multiply with like bases, add the exponents ===> 5² x 5⁵ = 5⁷
2). Same rule. e² x e⁷ = e⁹
3). Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.
2a⁵ x 6a = (2 x 6) (a⁵ x a¹) = 12 a⁶
4). Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.
4x² (-5)x⁶ = (4) (-5) (x² x⁶) = -20x⁸
5). To divide with like bases, subtract the denominator (divisor) exponent
from the numerator (dividend) exponent. ===> 7⁹ / 7³ = 7⁶
6). Same rule. v¹⁴ / v⁶ = v⁸
7). Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.
15w⁷ / 5w² = (15/5) (w⁷/w²) = 3 w⁵
8). Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.
10 m⁸ / 2m = (10/2) (m⁸ / m¹) = 5m⁷
9). Same rules. Add exponents to multiply, subtract them to divide.
( 2⁵ x 3⁷ x 4³ ) / (2¹ x 3⁵ x 4) = (2⁵ / 2¹) x (3⁷ / 3⁵) x (4³ / 4¹) = 2⁴ x 3² x 4²
10). (4¹⁵) x (-5)⁶ / (4¹² x (-5)⁴ ) = (4¹⁵/4¹²) x [ (-5)⁶/(-5)⁴ ] = 4³ x (-5)² = 4³ x 5²
11). (6⁷ x 7⁶ x 8⁵) / (6⁵ x 7⁵ x 8⁴) = (6⁷ / 6⁵) x (7⁶ / 7⁵) x (8⁵ / 8⁴)
You can finish it from here, you Crazy Unicorn you.
12). [ (-3)⁶ x 10⁵ ] / [ (-3)⁴ x 10³ ] = [ (-3)⁶ / (-3)⁴ ] x (10⁵/10³)
The last step is yours. Take it !
The food service gave out 80 samples, which is 4 fewer than 70% of the total number of samples they prepared. Lets make x the total number of samples they prepared.
So lets write it as an equation
80 = (70% of x) -4
70% converts to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 spaces up, so it is 0.7
80 = 0.7x-4
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
84 = 0.7x
Divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate the x
x = 120
The food service prepared 120 samples.
Answer:
1 hr 38 min
Step-by-step explanation:
The start time is 7:20. The end time is 8:58.
When 1 hour passes by, the time is 8:20.
8:58 - 8:20 = 38 minutes
1 hour and 38 minutes passes by.
We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.
Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.
Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.
Therefore, we can set up:
Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:
Therefore,
Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
