Answer:

Jose had 60 cards

Phillipe had 15 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trading cards Phillipe had be x. Jose had 4 times, meaning he has 4x of these cards.

Jose gave away 50 cards while Phillipe gave away 5 cards to make their numbers equal.

Mathematically:

4x - 50 = x - 5

3x = 45

x = 45/3 = 15

Phillipe had 15 cards while Jose had 15(4) = 60 cards

Jordan Pat 6 4/5 yards of pink ribbon and 3 1/4 yards of purple ribbon how much more pink ribbon the purple ribbon did she buy?
evablogger [386]
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.

If the m∠SRW = 85°, what are the measures of ∠VRU and ∠URW?<br><br> m∠VRU = °<br><br> m∠URW = °
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠TRV = ∠SRW ( vertical angles ), hence

2x + 15 = 85 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x = 70 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 35

Hence

∠VRU = 2x + 10 = ( 2 × 35) + 10 = 70 + 10 = 80°

and

∠URW + ∠VRU + ∠SRW = 180 ( sum of angles in a straight line ), thus

∠URW + 80 + 85 = 180

∠URW + 165 = 180 ( subtract 165 from both sides )

∠URW = 15°

A flagpole casts a shadow that is 85 feet long. Paul is 6 feet tall, and while standing next to the flagpole, casts a shadow tha
hammer [34]

Answer:

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:

-Using ratios:

\frac{Height\ of \ object}{Height\ of \  shadow}

Let h be the height of the flagpole:

=>\frac{6}{10}=\frac{h}{85}\\\\h=\frac{6\times 85}{10}\\\\h=51

Hence, the height of the pole is 51m
