Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Given the statement: A 36-foot-tall tree casts a 9-foot shadow.

To find the height of the nearby tree that cast a 14 foot shadow at the same time.

Let x be the height of the nearby tree.

By definition of proportion;

\frac{\text{Height of thetall tree}}{\text{Shadow of the tall tree}} =\frac{\text{Height of the nearby tree}}{\text{Shadow of the nearby tree}}

Substitute the given values we get;

\frac{36}{9}=\frac{x}{14}

Simplify:

4 = \frac{x}{14}

Multiply both sides by 14 we get;

x= 4 \times 14 = 56 foot.

therefore, the height of the nearby tree is, 56 foot.

she makes 50 per day so that would be the constant number

 o you have y = 50 + something

her tips are 15% , which is 0.15x

so her pay would be y = 0.15x +50

Select the correct answer.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D. $2,511

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need to write down the facts we know.

There are about 52.177 weeks in a year

Cesar works 28 hours each week

Cesar makes $23 an hour

There are 12 months in a year

Cesar has $3,360 after his monthly expenses

To figure out how many hours are in a "work year," multiply the number of work hours in a week by the number of weeks in a year. In other words, multiply Cesar's 28 hour work week by about 52.177 weeks. That makes 1,456 hours in his work year. That means he makes $33,492 a year. If you multiply $2,511 by the months in a year (12), you get $30132. Finally, subtract his annual salary by $30132 to get $3,360, which is what was left of Cesar's earnings after paying all of his monthly expenses. This means that your answer is: D. $2,511.

Dan has 50 coins that total $7.30. All of his coins are dimes, D, and quarters, Q. Write a system of equations that models this
Harman [31]

Answer:

d + q = 50

0.10d + 0.25q = 7.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all of the 50 coins are dimes and quarters, we can write the equation:

d + q = 50, where d is the number of dimes and q is the number of quarters

Now, we know that dimes are 10 cents, or $0.10 and quarters are 25 cents, or $0.25. So, if we multiply 0.10 by d, we get the total value of the dimes, and if we multiply 0.25 by q, we get the total value of the quarters. The total value of all dimes and quarters is 7.30, so we have the equation:

0.10d + 0.25q = 7.30

Thus, the system is:

d + q = 50

0.10d + 0.25q = 7.30
