One number = x
Another number = y

x = y + 5
x + y = 37

(y + 5) + y = 37
2y + 5 = 37
2y = 32
y = 16

x = (16) + 5
x = 21

The numbers are 16 and 21.

The base of the 37 foot ladder is 9 feet from the wall of a building. will the top of the ladder reach a window ledge 35 feet ab
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math in this problem is that we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve it. Pythagorean theorem is part of trigonometry a branch of Maths.

Data

base = 9 ft                      

length = 37 ft

height = ?

Pythagorean theorem

                                     c² = a² + b²

length = c

base = a

height = b

                                   37² = 9² + b²

-Solve for b

                                    b² = 37² - 9²

-Simplify

                                    b² = 1369 - 81

                                    b² = 1288

-Result

                                   b = 35.88

-Conclusion

The ladder will reach a height higher than 35 ft.

William has 24 24 cans of fruit and 60 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive. He wants each b
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of fruits cans = 24

Number of veggies cans = 60

William will have to distribute them in equal bags with equal cans of fruits and vegetables respectively.

For this:

We have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 24 and 60.

GCF by listing out the factors method.

Factors of 24  : 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

Factors of 60 : 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60

So,

The greatest common factor of 24 and 60 is 12.

The number of bags William will used for equal distribution = 12

Now,

We have to distribute the veggies and fruits in equal number of cans to these 12bags.

Number of fruits cans used in each bag = \frac{24}{12} = 2

Number of vegetables can used in each bag = \frac{60}{12} =5

We can say that:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Which is larger 2/3" x 3-7/16" or 0.6"L x 3.43"W?
Darina [25.2K]
2/3 x (3 - 7/16) = (2/3) * (3+7/16)
       = (2/3)*(55/16)
       = 55/24
       = 2.2917

0.6 x 3.43
      = 2.058

The first answer is greater than the second.

Answer:  2/3 x 3-7/16 is larger.
