Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

\frac{26}{5} = \frac{x}{3} ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

The Hamptons family has a fish tank holding 10,450 ml of water.The water is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute.
True [87]
The output would depend on the input so relating this to the question, the input is the time (in minute) and the output is the amount of water left in the tank

We can give a letter 't' for the time, the input, and f(t) for the output

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

The original amount of water in the tank is 10450, so this will be the fixed constant.
The amount of water lost per minute is 270 so this will be the term that varies depends on the variable of time, we write this as 270t

The function is given f(t) = 10450 - 270t
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given, t = 10
f(10) = 10450 - 270(10)
f(10) = 7750 ml

76 div 4<br><br> a)15<br><br> b) 8<br><br> c) 19<br><br> d) 0<br><br> Explain
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

C. 19.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer.

Step 1:  divide the first number of 76, which is 7, by 4 and find the integer part.

7/4=1.75, so the integer part is 1.

Step 2: subtract from 7 the (integer part times 4)

7-(1*4)=3

Step 3: put toether the result (3) and the second number of 76, which is 6, so the result is 36.

Step 4: find how many times we need to add 4s to reach 36, so:

4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=36 which means that:

36/4=9

Step 5: put together the two resulted numbers calculated in step 1, which is 1, and step 4, which is 9:

1 and 9 giving 19, so the answer is:

76/4=19.

In conclusion the answer is C. 19.

The constant of proportionality for this relationship is
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: The constant of proportionality is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for constant of proportionality is y=KX. the K stands for the constant of proportionality and since the constant proportionality is 1.5 you will take 1.5 * x and for example x is 2 so you do 1.5 * 2 and you get 3 and 3 is your y. If you plug in the equation you're saying 3 equals 1.5 * 2 which is right.
