On a number line, point D is at -6, and point E is at 8. Point F lies between points D and E. If DF: FEis 3: 1, where does point

Vadim26 [7]

F is located on the numbe<u>r 4.5</u><u> </u>on the number line.

<h3></h3><h3>Where does point F lie on the number line?</h3>

We know that point D is at -6

Point E is at 8.

Point F is between D and E, such that the ratio:

DF:FE is 3:1

So if we divide the distance between D and E in 4 parts, 3 of these parts are DF, and one of these parts is FE.

First, the distance between E and D is:

distance = 8 - (-6) = 14 units.

Now, if we divide that by 4, we get:

14/4 = 3.5

Then we have:

DF = 3*(3.5) = 10.5

This means that F is at 10.5 units to the right of D, then:

F = D + 10.5 = -6 + 10.5 = 4.5

F is located on the numbe<u>r 4.5</u><u> </u>on the number line.

Answer:

Gallons of punch used = 4.94 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Liters of punch purchased = 25 liters

Liters of punch left over = 6 liters

Liters of punch used = 25 - 6 = 19 liters

According to the given statement;

1 liter = 0.26 gallons

19 liters = 0.26*19 gallons

19 liters = 4.94 gallons

Hence,

Gallons of punch used = 4.94 gallons

Andrew is painting a wall on the side of his house. He has a 20 foot ladder wich makes a 79 degree angle with the ground. Standi

torisob [31]

Andrew can reach a maximum of $24.6ft$ high up the wall.

The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the $sine$ ratio. that is

$sin(72^\circ})=\dfrac{h}{20}$

where $h$ is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for $h$ , we get

$0.9816=\dfrac{h}{20}\\\\h=20\times0.9816\\\\h=19.632ft$

Since Andrew can reach an extra $5ft$ above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

$(19.632+5)ft=24.632ft\\\\\approx24.6ft$
