12 can go into 648 54 times. :)
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
Answer:
(b) The number of pounds of berries each person would receive is 
pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of berries in first basket = 3 3/8 pounds
Now, 
So, the amount of berries in first basket = 3.375 pounds
The amount of berries in second basket = 2 7/8 pounds
Now, 
So, the amount of berries in second basket = 2.875 pounds
Now, the total berries = Berries in ( First + Second) basket
= 3.375 pounds + 2.875 pounds
= 6.25 pounds
So, the number of pounds each person would have = 
Now, 
So, the number of pounds of berries each person would receive is pounds.
Answer:
very less
Step-by-step explanation:
When rolling a fair 6 sided die 5 times there are 6^5 possible combinations.
Of those, there are 5 ways to roll exactly four sixes, and each of those ways have 5 possible results on the die which has not rolled a six, plus there is 1 way to roll five sixes. 5*5+1=26 combinations with at least four sixes.
Now, take the number of results which fit your conditions, divide by the number of possible results and you get your answer: 26/7776 which can be reduced to 13/3338, a bit less than 0.4%
1) Let's solve for x, writing this equation.
3x +8*59 =0
3x +472=0 <em>Subtract 472 from both sides</em>
3x = -472
x= -472/3 or -157.33
2) So the answer is x= -472/3
