Answer:

Fir trees are 9 meters and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the fir tree = x and the height of the pine tree = y (in meters).

It is given that the combined height of both the trees is 21 meters.

That is, x+y=21

Also, the height of 4 fir trees is 24 meters more than that of the pine tree.

That is, 4x=y+24 i.e. 4x-y=24

So, we get the system of equations,

x+y=21

4x-y=24

Adding both the equations, gives us,

5x = 45 i.e. x=  9.

So, x+y=21 ⇒ y= 21 - x ⇒ y= 21 - 9 ⇒ y= 12.

Thus, the fir trees are 9 meters tall and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Triangle IJK is similar to triangle LMN. Find the measure of side LM. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

It's either 39.2 or 39.3 (a more accurate answer) because it depends on what you round by. since it's Delta Math, you should get 2 attempts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar, they are proportional.

54/11=4.90909091 or 4.9

Multiply 11 by 4.90909091 and you get 54

Multiply 8 by 4.90909091 and you get 39.3

if you multiply by 4.9 you get 39.2

The correct answer would be D. because if the equation has a y-intercept (+4) than the line doesn't go through the origin.

Jonathan is designing a rectangular path for his garden using paving stones. The paving stones are square and 50cm wide. If the
koban [17]

Answer: 32 paving stones

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to convert the measures of the paving stones into meters.

Since: 1m = 100 cm

50 cm /100 = 0.5m

Now, we have to calculate the area of each paving stone:

Area of a square: s^2 = 0.5^2 = 0.25m2

Next, the area of the path.

Area of a rectangle = width x length = 1 x 8 = 8 m2

Finally, we have to divide the area of the path by the area of each paving stone:

8/0.25 = 32 paving stones

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A dairy needs 357 gallons of milk containing 5% butterfat. How many gallons each of milk containing 7% butterfat and milk contai
IrinaVladis [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 238 gallons 7%
  • 119 gallons 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of gallons of high butterfat content milk. Then 357-h will be the number of gallons of 1% milk. The total amount of butterfat in the mix is ...

  0.07h +0.01(357 -h) = 0.05(357)

  0.06h = 14.28 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.57, collect terms

  h = 238 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 0.06

  357-h = 357 -238 = 119

238 gallons of 7% and 119 gallons of 1% are needed.
