Answer:

15.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle =  length of ladder = 16 feet

base = 5 feet

let h = height of house

16 ^2 = 5^2  +  h^2

256 = 25 + h^2

231 = h^2

h = root(231) = 15.1986 feet

How many quarter pound buyers can george make out of 3 and 1/2 pounds of ground beef?
weeeeeb [17]
Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)
