Let

x------> height of Leon's older brother

y------> height of Leon

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

4\frac{3}{4}\ ft=\frac{4*4+3}{4}= \frac{19}{4}\ ft

we know that

x=\frac{19}{4}\ ft -----> equation A

y=x-\frac{1}{3} -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

y=\frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{53}{12}\ ft

Convert to mixed number

\frac{53}{12}=\frac{48}{12}+\frac{5}{12}=4\frac{5}{12}\ ft

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4\frac{5}{12}\ ft

Mr.kelly pays $12,564 a year for rent. His rent is a constant amount each month. Which equation represents the amount he pays he
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

1047 m = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mr.kelly pays $12,564 a year for rent. His rent is a constant amount each month.

To Find:Which equation represents the amount he pays her month if m=months and c=total rent paid for the year?

Solution :

Since he pays for a year (12 months) =  $12,564

Since  His rent is a constant amount each month.

He pays for one month = \frac{12564}{12}=1047

Thus the amount he pays per month $1047

If he pays for m months then the total amount(c) of rent for m months

⇒1047 m = c

Hence equation represents the amount he pays her month if m=months and c=total rent paid for the year: 1047 m = c

The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 38. Find the numbers.
White raven [17]

Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

The angle of elevation from an observer to the bottom edge of the Delaware River drawbridge observation deck located 200 feet fr
aleksklad [387]

The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck is 52.4 ft

Two right angle triangle will be formed.

<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>

Right angle triangle are triangle that has one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore, using trigonometric ratio,

adjacent side = distance of observer from the bottom edge of the Delaware River drawbridge observation deck

Therefore,

tan 40 = opposite / adjacent

Where

x = height of the observer to the top of the observation deck

tan 40 = x / 200

x = 200 tan 40

x = 167.819926235

x = 167.82 ft

tan 30 = opposite / adjacent

y = height of the observer to the bottom of the observation deck

tan 30 = y / 200

y = 200 tan 30

y = 115.470053838

y = 115.47 ft

The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck = height of the observer to the top of the observation deck - height of the observer to the bottom of the observation deck

The height of the chimney above the floor of the observation deck = 167.82 - 115.47 = 52.35 ft

Round to the nearest whole number 3.713 divided by 0.413
babunello [35]

After the division, we get 8.99031476998. This rounds to <u>9</u> as a whole number, which is the answer.

When rounding to a whole number, the digits following the decimal decide what number it rounds to. If it is 0-4 it rounds to whatever the whole number currently is E.G.

8.1 would round to 8

But if its 5-9 it rounds to one above, like in our current case.

8.5 rounds to 9.

42.414 rounds to 42.

42.94149124 rounds to 43.
