The woman's shadow length is 2 times her height, so her distance from the light is 2 times the difference in height between her and the light bulb.

2×(6 m - 1.5 m) = 9 m

Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe
Sati [7]
A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The cheapest available ticket for Super Bowl Ll on the secondary market costs
drek231 [11]

Answer:

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

Per hour:

Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.

Per day:

He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.

For each hour, he earns $5.8.

So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4

How many days he must work:

The ticket costs $2400.

He makes $46.4 a day.

So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:

2400/46.4 = 51.7 days

Rounding up

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Emily added 5 grams of water into 20 grams of 50% salt solution.
atroni [7]
Answers:
She made ___25___ grams of ___40___% salt solution

------------------------------------------------------------------

The given info "20 grams of 50% salt solution" tells us that we have 10 grams of pure salt
Since 50% of 20 = 0.50*20 = 10
Put another way, we have 10 grams of pure salt out of 20 total so 10/20 = 0.50 = 50% salt solution

The 20 grams of solution updates to 25 grams of solution when we add the 5 grams of water
We don't add any salt, assuming this water is fresh water

So we still have 10 grams of pure salt out of 25 grams now
10/25 = 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% is the new salt concentration
