Answer:
Alicia is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
left triangle to right triangle gives
=
Thus Alicia is correct. Jason has the incorrect sides on the second ratio
20+17c if c is 50 or under and 20+15.80c if c is more than 50

Complete Question
Astrid is in charge of building a new fleet of ships. Each ship requires 40 tons of wood, and accommodates 300 sailors. She receives a delivery of 4 tons of wood each day. The deliveries can continue for 100 days at most, afterwards the weather is too bad to allow them. Overall, she wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
Answer:
280 tons of wood.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
To make 1 ship = we require 40 tons of wood.
1 ship = can accommodate 300 sailors.
Step 1
If :
300 sailors = 1 ship
2100 sailors = y ships
Cross Multiply
300 × y ships = 1 ship × 2100 sailors
y ships = 2100 / 300
y ships = 7
Hence, 2100 sailors can occupy 7 ships.
Step 2
We are told in the question that:
Astrid wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
If:
1 ship = 40 tons of wood
Since 7 ships can accommodate 2100 sailors,
7 ships =
7 × 40 tons of wood = 280 tons of wood.
Therefore , Astrid needs 280 tons of wood to accommodate 2100 sailors.
Answer:
79.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
5.3 per minute can also be written as the ratio 5.3:1. so if we have x:15, we can see that we've multiplied the right side by 15 so we have to do the same to the other side. 15 times 5.3 is 79.5. so thats your answer.
i hope this helps :))
Answer:
x = 34.9 to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
tan 64 = opposite side / adjacent side = x / 17.
x = 17 * tan 64
= 34.855
