To answer this you would need to first find out what 3/8 of the 5/9 would be. 3/8 would be the amount that remains after five eights were accounted for. The question says it is 5/9 of the remaining, and 3/8 of the total would be what remains. Multiply 3/8 by 5/9 to get 5/24. This represents the part that would be green. Then I added the original 5/8 for blueand 5/24 for green. The amount is 20/24, or 5/6. This represents the part that is green or blue. 1/6 would be the other color which is red. To find the total, you would solve 1/6x =48. To solve this divide 48 by 1/6. Keep change and invert your division problem. It would be 48×6. The answer is 288 total votes. You said check your work by multiplying 5/8 by 288. You get 180. 288-180=108. Multiply 5/9 by 108 to get 60. 108-60 is 48!!!

Ryan wanted to know the height of a cell-phone tower neighboring his property he walked 80 feet from the base of the tower and m
spin [16.1K]
Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees. 
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer. 
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.

Find the length indicated. find CE
torisob [31]
Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12

Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
