10 will be your answer because 4 x 5 divided by 2 is 10
Well, since she bought 3.42 pounds of green apples, then you can subtract 3 lbs off of that, so she bought .42 lbs of green apples, and 2.19 lbs red apples
So now, you just need to add .42 and 2.19
.42 + 2.19 = 2.61, so she has 2.61 lbs of apples left
Hope this helped!
Answer:
...
against the wind, an airplane travels 3640 km in 7 hours.
with the wind, the same plane travels 6000 km in 6hrs.
...
let speed of plane in still air be x mph
speed of wind be y mph.
..
t=d/r
..
against wind speed = x-y mph
with wond speed = x=y mph
...
3640/(x-y)=7
3640 = 7x-7y
/7
520=x-y.....................1
...
6000/x+y = 6
6000 = 6x+6y
/6
1000=x+y.....................2
...
Add (1) & (2)
2x=1520
/2
x=760 mph speed of plane in still air
...
plug value of x in 2
1000=760+y
100-760=y
240 = y
240 mph speed of wind

We are going to solve your problem by using the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).
The length of the ladder is equal to 70ft (hypotenuse); one leg is the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder - 40 ft, the other leg is unknown for it is the distance between 10 ft above the ground and the top of the ladder-represented by "x". Using pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^=c^2, we have x^2+40^2 = 70^2. Solving the exponents, we have x^2 + 1600 = 4900.
Isolating the variable x, we have x^2 = 4900-1600. Futher simplying, x^2 = 3300. Thus, x = √
3300 or 57.4456264654 ft.
Adding 10 ft to x, therefore, the top of the leadder is 67.4456264654 ft off the ground.
