It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height
Step-by-step explanation:
A gardener is planting two types of trees:
- Type A is 3 feet tall and grows at a rate of 7 inches per year
- Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 1 inches per year
We need to find in how many years it will take for these trees to be the
same height
Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height
The height of a tree = initial height + rate of grow × number of years
Type A:
∵ The initial height = 3 feet
∵ 1 foot = 12 inches
∴ The initial height = 3 × 12 = 36 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 7 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴ 
= 36 + (7) x
∴ = 36 + 7 x
Type B:
∵ The initial height = 5 feet
∴ The initial height = 5 × 12 = 60 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 1 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴ 
= 60 + (1) x
∴ = 60 + x
Equate and
∴ 36 + 7 x = 60 + x
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 36 + 6 x = 60
- Subtract 36 from both sides
∴ 6 x = 24
- Divide both sides by 6
∴ x = 4
∴ The two trees will be in the same height in 4 years
It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height

Answer:
Answer
Did u put any picture because i think there should be a picture
Answer:
a. 1/13
b. 1/52
c. 2/13
d. 1/2
e. 15/26
f. 17/52
g. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. In a deck of cards, there are 4 suits and each of them has a 7. Therefore, the probability of drawing a 7 is:
P(7) = 4/52 = 1/13
b. There is only one 6 of clubs, therefore, the probability of drawing a 6 of clubs is:
P(6 of clubs) = 1/52
c. There 4 fives (one for each suit) and 4 queens in a deck of cards. Therefore, the probability of drawing a five or a queen is:
P(5 or Q) = P(5) + P(Q)
= 4/52 + 4/52
= 1/13 + 1/13
P(5 or Q) = 2/13
d. There are 2 suits that are black. Each suit has 13 cards. Therefore, there are 26 black cards. The probability of drawing a black card is:
P(B) = 26/52 = 1/2
e. There are 2 suits that are red. Each suit has 13 cards. Therefore, there are 26 red cards. There are 4 jacks. Therefore:
P(R or J) = P(R) + P(J)
= 26/52 + 4/52
= 30/52
P(R or J) = 15/26
f. There are 13 cards in clubs suit and there are 4 aces, therefore:
P(C or A) = P(C) + P(A)
= 13/52 + 4/52
P(C or A) = 17/52
g. There are 13 cards in the diamonds suit and there are 13 in the spades suit, therefore:
P(D or S) = P(D) + P(S)
= 13/52 + 13/52
= 26/52
P(D or S) = 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The fox is faster. Because he is a fox.
Also because he can (assuming he doesn't fatigue or get caught by hounds in the second half of the hour) run 42 miles in 1 hour.
The rabbit runs 35 miler per hour.
Velocity = Distance/time
Fox velocity = 21 miles/0.5 hour
Dividing by 0.5 is the same as multiplying by 2, so...
Fox velocity = 42 miles/hour
