Answer:

Sweater =400 grams

Hat =80 grams

Scarf =75 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of wool used to make a sweater, a hat and a scarf=555 grams

Let the amount of wool used to make a sweater be = x

The amount of wool for the sweater =x/5

The amount of wool used for the scarf=x/5 -5

Total amount of wool used = x+(x/5)+(x/5-5)

x+x/5 +x/5-5=555

Multiply all through by the LCM 5

5x+x+x-25=2775

7x=2800

x=400

Sweater =400 grams

Hat=400/5=80 grams

Scarf =400/5 -5=75 grams

so, just change C to +3, thus C/B is 3/1

Natali [406]

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
