In 3 metres there are 300 centimetres. Each centimetre on the scale is 300 centimeters, or a ratio of 1:300. The tree is 5 centimetres on the scale. Each centimeter on the scale is 300 centimetres, therefore 5 centimetres on the scale is 1500 centimetres. 1500 centimetres is equal to 15 metres.

1cm: 3cm
X both by 5
5cm:15cm the actual tree would be 15 meters

Art [367]
The answer is (1/3). So first you need to determine the fraction of time the second person worked. Multiply (1/2)x(1/3) and you will get (1/6). All the values need to add up to 1, so you can make the equation (1/2)+(1/6)+x=1. Solve for x and you will get (1/3).

Santos is a lifeguard and spots a drowning child 50 meters along the shore and 60 meters from the shore to the child. Santos run
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Santos should run approximately 36.145 meters along the shore

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The distance along the shore of the child = 50 meters

The distance from the shore of the child = 60 meters

The rate at which Santos can run = 4 m/s

The rate he can swim = 0.9 m/s

Let 'x' represent the distance he runs along the shore

We have;

The time he spends running on the shore, t₁ = x/4

The time he spends swimming, t₂ = (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9

The total time, T = t₁ + t₂ = x/4 + (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9

To find the maximum, we have;

dT/dx = 0 = d(x/4 + (√(60² + (50 - x)²)/0.9)/dx = 1/4 - (50 - x)/(0.9·(√(60² + (50 - x)²) = 0

1/4 - (50 - x)/(0.9·(√(60² + (50 - x)²) = 0

Simplifying using a graphing calculator gives;

\dfrac{x - 2000}{9} = \sqrt{x^2-100\cdot x+6,100}

1519·x² - 151900·x + 3505900 = 0

x = (151900 ± √((-151900)² - 4×1519×3505900))/(2 × 1519)

x ≈ 63.86 m or x ≈ 36.145 m

We note that the distance from a point x = 63.83 meters and 36.145 meters from where Santos spots the girl to the location of the girl are the same

Therefore, Santos should run approximately 36.145 meters along the shore before jumping into to the water in order to save the child
