The scale factor from the small one to the big one is 3
Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.
The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
Answer:
Y = 32.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
We will apply the Cosine law in the given triangle XYZ,
x = 90 ft
y = 55 ft
z = 50 ft
We have to find the measure of angle Y.
y² = x² + z² - 2xzCosY
(55)² = (90)² + (50)² - 2(90)(50)cosY
3025 = 8100 + 2500 - 9000.cosY
9000.cosY = 10600 - 3025
cosY = 
= 0.84167
Y = 
Y = 32.68 ≈ 32.7°
Therefore, measure of angle Y = 32.7°
