I believe it is context clues. The reader typically looks for context clues to understand the reading.
Answer:
$598.12.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to make the percent into a decimal and multiply it by the price without tax: 0.0975 · 544.98, which equals 53.136 when rounded to the nearest thousandth. This means that 53.136 is 9.75% of 544.98. Then you just need to add 53.136, or 53.14 when rounded, to 544.98. This gives you $598.12.
First we will change them on the same denominator which will be 12. If we do something to the denominator we must do the same to the numerator so :
For 1/3 we get 4/12 because (1/3)*4 = 4/12
And for 2/3 we get 8/12 because (2/3)*4 = 8/12
So 1/3 is the smaller fraction, 7/12 is in the middle and 2/3 is the bigger fraction.
Answer:
8.66 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the building is completely straight, a right angle is formed and therefore a right triangle.
Thanks to this we can calculate the height at which the ladder reaches the wall using the Pythagorean theorem, this height being one of the legs.
We have to:
c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2
c = 10
a = 5
replacing
b ^ 2 = 10 ^ 2 - 5 ^ 2
b ^ 2 = 75
b = 8.66
that is to say that the height at which the ladder reaches the wall is 8.66 meters
