First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

Now we just need to add the fractions together

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

=1.5 yardsYour final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.
Answer:
b = 33 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.
5280 ft = 1 mile
735 ft = ? miles
cross multiply
735/5280
miles = 0.13920454545 miles
The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14 miles
using Pythagoras theorem
c² = a² + b²
c = 4000.14
a = 4000
4000.14² = 4000² + b²
b² = 4000.14² - 4000²
b² = 16001120.0196 - 16000000
b² = 1120.0196
b = √1120.0196
b = 33.4666938911
b = 33 miles
<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.
Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle
We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.
The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.
New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°
Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°
