Answer:

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  Put the height of the object over the shadow.  Change the height of the object to inches

Alonzo

5 ft 11 inches = 5 ft *12 inches/ft + 11 inches = 60 inches + 11 inches = 71 inches

2 ft shadow = 2* 12 inches/ ft = 24 inches

Basketball goal

4 ft 4 inches =  4 ft *12 inches/ft + 4 inches = 48inches + 4 inches = 52 inches

Alonzo             Basketball      

71 inches         x inches tall

------------   = --------------------

24 inches     52 inches

Using cross products

71*52 = 24*x

Divide each side by 24

71*52/24 = 24x/24

923/6 =x

Lets change this to a mixed number

6 goes into 923  153 times   with 5 left over

153  5/6 inches

Now we need to change inches to feet

How many time does 12 go into 153  12 times  (12*12 =144  with 9 left over)

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Answer:

The second table of values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put the x-values in the second table of values in correct number order:

x: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1

Now, let's write out the y-values in correct number order:

y: 1/4, 1, 4, 16, 64

Finally, let's rewrite the second table of values with the x-values in order and the corresponding y-values underneathe:

x: -3,  -2,  -1  0  1

y: 64,  16,  4, 1,  1/4

As it can be seen, as the x-values get bigger in value, the y-values get smaller exponentially, which is the definition of exponential decay.

If the measure of an angle is p is three times less than twice the measure of angle q and angle p and angle q are supplementary
Marizza181 [45]
60 * 3 = 180 and 90 * 2 = 180
if they are supplementary angles than they equal 180 together. 
angle p is three times less than twice the measure of angle q so that means 180/3 = angle p and 180/2 = angle q. 
Angle q is 90 and twice that is 180 and Angle p is 60 and three times that is 180
so 60 is three times less than twice the measure of 90.
60 three times is 180 and 90 twice is 180 which means 3p = 2q and you have 180 because they are supplementary angles so you have really 180/3 = p and 180/2 = q
The answer is p = 60 and q = 90

In 1985 there were 275 cell phone subscribers in the small town of China grove. Subscribers increased by 40% each year after 198
emmasim [6.3K]
1985year ->275cell phones->100%
1994year -> x cell phones ->100%+360%
40% • (1994-1985)= 40% • 9= 360%

275 cell phone 100%
X cell phones. 100+360%=460%
x=275•460%/100%
x=12420/100
x=1265
99% sure this is a correct answer


x=275 • 460%/100%
x=12,420/100
x=1265

1994-1985= 9 yrs • 40%= 360%

1 1/3 yd wide

Area of backyard:
15 5/6 times 10 2/5 =
164 2/3 yd

Area of Sod Piece:
1 1/3 times 1 1/3 =
1 7/9 yd

Divide area of backyard by area of sod piece :
164 2/3 divided by 1 7/9 =
92 5/8
