Set up a proportion
1 lbs = 2 cups
x lbs = 1.5 cups
1/2 = x/1.5
1.5(1/2) = x
1.5/2 = x
.75 lbs = x
Answer:
Part 1)
Part 2) The height of the pole is
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the length of the pole
y------> the length of the shadow
we know that
-----> equation A
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem to find the distance (hypotenuse in a right triangle)
-----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x
squared both sides
-----> equation that represent the situation
solve for x

Step-by-step explanation:
Raghu investment = Rs 60,000
Nazar investment = Rs 100,000
Raghu profit = 1800
Nazar profit = 3000
Raghu invested Rs. 60000 and Nazar Rs. 100000. The ratio of their investments will be:
= 60000/100000
= 3/5
= 3:5.
The ratio of their profit will be:
= 1800/3000
= 3/5
= 3:5
Since we have identical ratio, we can then say that the investment and the profit are divided proportionally.
Answer:
median: 8
mean: 7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find median (the middle number is a set of data), you need to first put the numbers in order from least to greatest:
4, 5, 8, 8, 10, 11
Since there are two numbers in the middle - 8 and 8, you can add them together and divide by two to get the median:
8 + 8 = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Mean is the average of the set of data and can be found by finding the sum of the data and dividing by the total number of data points.
4 + 5 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 11 = 46 ÷ 6 ≈ 7.7
