The correct answer is 17: 30

Explanation:

The purpose of a ratio is to express the relationship between two elements in terms of quantities. For example, if there are 5 oranges and 4 lemons the ratio is 5 to 4. Additionally, this relationship between the quantities of two different things can be expressed as a fraction, by using a colon (:) or by using the word "to." In the last two cases, the colon or word "to" separate the two amounts compared.

In the case presented, the total of days observed was 30 days (17 days with rain + 13 days with no rain) and the ratio of rainy days to the total of days can be expressed as 17:30, \frac{17}{30} or as 17 to 30, considering there were 17 rainy days out of a total of 30 days.

Rosario draws the right triangular prism shown here and calculates the volume. She then draws a second right triangular prism in
Tju [1.3M]
The volume of the original prism is given by:
 V1 = (1/2) * (b) * (h) * (H)
 Where,
 b: base of the triangle
 h: height of the triangle
 H: prism height
 The volume of the prism with new dimensions is:
 V2 = (1/2) * (3b) * (3h) * (3H)
 Rewriting:
 V2 = (3 * 3 * 3) * (1/2) * (b) * (h) * (H)
 V2 = (27) * (1/2) * (b) * (h) * (H)
 V2 = (27) * V1
 Answer:
 
The relationship between the volumes of the two prisms is:
 
V2 = (27) * V1

If a person flips a coin and then rolls a six dash sided die​, describe the sample space of possible outcomes using Upper H comm
xenn [34]

Answer:

Sample Space (S) = { (1,H), (1,T), (2,H), (2,T), (3,H), (3,T), (4,H), (4,T), (5,H), (5,T), (6,H), (6,T) }  

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person flips a coin; the possible outcomes of flipping a coin are { Head (H), Tail (T) }

If a person rolls a six dash side die, the possible outcomes of rolling a dice are { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

Now, If a person flips a coin and then rolls a six dash side die;

The Sample Space (S) which is the set of all the possible outcomes of the activities carried out can be described as follows:

DIE                               COIN  →

↓                                      

                                        H                               T          

1                                      (1,H)                             (1,T)

2                                    (2,H)                             (2,T)

3                                    (3,H)                             (3,T)

4                                    (4,H)                             (4,T)

5                                    (5,H)                             (5,T)

6                                    (6,H)                             (6,T)

Sample Space (S) = { (1,H), (1,T), (2,H), (2,T), (3,H), (3,T), (4,H), (4,T), (5,H), (5,T), (6,H), (6,T) }

Find the area of this triangle, round to the nearest tenth, I will give brainliest
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

59.15 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Heron's formula

semiperimeter , s = 1/2 ( 28.8+18+12) = 29.4

Area = sqrt ( 29.4(29.4-28.8)(29.4-18)(29.4-12) ) = 59.15 in^2

A 72,000 gallon water tower is being drained. Two thousand gallons are drained in the first hour. How many hours will it take to
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.

Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.

Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour

72000\div 2000

=\ 36

Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.
