Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a rope stretches directly depending on the load it must carry. A load of 8 pounds stretches the rope 9.6 inches.

If the rope stretches 6 inches, then we are to find the load that is it is holding.

We will be using UNITARY method to solve this problem

When the rope is stretched by 9.6 inches, then the amount of load it is holding = 8 pounds.

So, when the rope is stretched by 1 inch, then the amount of load it is holding is

\dfrac{8}{9.6}~\textup{pounds}.

Therefore, when the rope is stretched by 6 inches, then the amount of load it is holding is given by

\dfrac{8}{9.6}\times 6=\dfrac{8}{1.6}=5~\textup{pounds}.

Thus, the complete statement is

If the rope stretches 6 inches, then it is holding a load of 5 pounds.

To find this answer, you need to see how the proportions of the ropes relate. So, from 9.6 inches to 6 inches, 9.6 is 1.6 times greater than 6. We use 1.6, and divide 8 by the value to get 5 inches. Hope this helped

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a ">"

Step-by-step explanation:

3 to the power negative one (-1) is the same as 1/3 (one unit divided by 3).

1/4 on the other hand is one unit divided by 4.

Dividing one object into three parts (think for example a chocolate bar) gives you a larger (greater) piece than dividing it into four equal pieces.

Therefore 1/3  > 1/4

2) A girl starts from a point A and walks 285m to B on a bearing of 078°. She then walks due south to a point C which is 307m fr
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

bearing of A from C is - 65.24°

the distance |BC| is 187.84 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

girl walks AB = 285 m (side c)

bearing angle B = 78°

girl walks AC = 307 m (side a)

solution

we use here the Cosine Law for getting side b that is

ac² = ab² + bc² - 2 × ab × cos(B)     ...............1

307² = 285² + x²  - 2 × 285 cos(78)

x = 187.84 m

and

now we get here angle θ , the bearing from A to C get by law of sines

sin (θ) = \frac{187.84}{307} \times sin(78)

sin (θ) =  0.5985  

θ = 36.76°

and as we get here angle BAC that is

angle BCA = 180 - ( 36.76° + 78° )

angle BCA = 65.24°

and here  negative bearing of A from C so - 65.24°
