Answer:

w = 137.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

100 tan 54° = w/100 *100

Simplify w/100*100 = w

w = 100 tan 54°

w = 137.6 ft

Help please if anyone knows

<u>Part A
</u>
<u />To estimate this, we should first look at our fractions and see if they can be combined to form a whole number. In this case, \frac{3}{5} and \frac{2}{3} equal approximately 1. We can add this "1" to the other to full gallons to estimate that the painter needs about 3 gallons.

<u>Part B
</u>
<u /><u />To find the exact amount, we should first change the mixed numbers to improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, adding the numerator, and placing that value over the denominator.

1 \frac{3}{5} \\ \\  (5*1)+3 =8 \\  \\  \frac{8}{5}  \\  \\  \\ \\  1 \frac{2}{3} \\  \\ (3*1)+2=5 \\  \\  \frac{5}{3}  &#10;

Now, we need to find the least common denominator. This is the lowest value that both denominators will divide evenly into. In this case, that number is 15.

Next, we should multiply both fractions so that the denominator is that number. Remember that we must also multiply the numerator for the fraction to remain equivalent to its original value.

\frac{8}{5} *3 =   \frac{24}{15} \\  \\  \frac{5}{3} *5 =  \frac{25}{15}

Now, we can simply add our numerators.

25+24=49

We know that he needs \frac{49}{15} gallons of paint, but this is not in the most simplified format. To simplify, we need to turn our improper fraction back to a mixed number. To do this, we need to divide our numerator by the denominator to create our whole number, and the remainder becomes our new numerator.

\frac{49}{15} \\  \\ 49 / 15 = 3(Remainder: 4) \\  \\  3\frac{4}{15}

Using that logic, we can see that the painter needs exactly 3 \frac{4}{15} gallons of paint.

You want to buy an MP3 player. Your Aunt paid you $20 to mow her lawn and you earn $5 each week
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1. y = 5x + 20

2. $20 the amount you saved mowing your aunt's lawn.

3. 21 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 is the slope because it is the rate. 20 is the y-intercept because that is how much you already have.

2. 20 because that is how much you already have.

3. Since you already have $20, you need to subtract 125 by 20 to get 105. Then you divide 105 by 5 to get 21 weeks.
