Emily is dividing 15 pounds of jelly beans into 3/4 lb. bags. How many individual bags will she need for all of the jelly beans?

1 answer:

3 0

X= # of individual bags

x= 15 lbs ÷ 3/4 lbs
15 is the same as 15 over 1
x= 15/1 ÷ 3/4
multiply by reciprocal of 3/4
x= 15/1 * 4/3
x= (15*4)/(1*3)
x= 60/3
x= 20

ANSWER: She will need D) 20 bags

Hope this helps! :)

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite

otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

Step 1; John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points

Step 2; John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

Step 3; On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

Step 4; John drives a second stake in the ground

Step 5; John measures the the distance between the two stakes

Step 6; John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

$\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}$
