Carlita was either sipping the hot chocolate while she was out, or else
approximating the numbers. The exact number she reported is not
possible. To see why, I'll do it strictly by the math:
Robins = 5 times
Cardinals = 1 time
Total birds = 6 times
6 times = 25 birds
Divide each side by 6 : 1 time = 25/6 = 4-1/6 birds
Robins = 5 times = 20-5/6 of them
Cardinals = 1 time = 4-1/6 of them
Total: (20-5/6) + (4-1/6) = 25 birds.
How many more robins than cardinals = (20-5/6) - (4-1/6) = 16-2/3 more.
The math works out fine. But if the numbers she reported are true,
then some of what she saw was partial birds ... legs, or feathers,
things like that. Eeeew. I don't want to talk about it.
Answer:
If top readers read at speeds of above 1000 words per minute (wpm) with near 85% comprehension, they only represent 1% of readers. Average readers are the majority and only reach around 200 wpm with a typical comprehension of 60%. ... The average reader is five times slower than the good reader.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.
Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.
Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h. Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14. theta is
0.365 radian. Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is
14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet. This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.
Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.
1. (x + 2 < 5) Subtract two from each side to get (x < 3)
2. (x - 7 > -6) Add 7 to both sides to get (x > 1)
