The inn's per night cost before tax is $220.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sales tax = 5% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

Per night charges including sales tax = $231

Let,

x be the per night charges.

Per night charges + 5% sales tax of per night = 231

x+0.05x=231\\1.05x=231\\

Dividing both sides by 1.05

\frac{1.05x}{1.05}=\frac{231}{1.05}\\x=220

The inn's per night cost before tax is $220.

A ladder is leaning against a tall wall with the foot of the ladder placed at 7 feet from the base of the wall and the angle of
djverab [1.8K]

Complete question is;

A 21 ft ladder is leaning against a tall wall with the foot of the ladder placed at 7 feet from the base of the wall and the angle of elevation is?

Answer:

θ = 70.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation simply means the angle that the ladder makes with the ground. Let's call this angle θ.

I've attached a diagram showing the triangle made by this ladder and the wall.

From the attached diagram, we can see the triangle formed by the ladder and the wall.

We can find the angle of elevation θ from trigonometric ratios.

Thus;

7/21 = cos θ

cos θ = 0.3333

θ = cos^(-1) 0.3333

θ = 70.5°

Find four fractions between 1/10 and 1/8
Alex17521 [72]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:

  1/8.4 = 5/42

  1/8.8 = 5/44

  1/9.2 = 5/46

  1/9.6 = 5/48

__

<em>Check</em>

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 5/42 ≈ 0.119
  • 5/44 ≈ 0.114
  • 5/46 ≈ 0.109
  • 5/48 ≈ 0.104
  • 1/10 = 0.100

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

__

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.
