Answer:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved
by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
4x = 50 × 60
Divide from both sides
x = 50 × 1.25 = 75
Answer is 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:
It asked for how many 60 shots would score.
You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them
50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5
So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5
Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.
60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5
& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.
Hope it made sense :)
I'm guessing you mean f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x. If this is what you mean, the population would increase by about 12,000 (12030.4870605 to be exact).
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting equation: f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x
You can clean up the 9/8 to be 1.125
Now what you want to do is find the answer to (9/8)^5 which is 1.8020324707
Next multiply 1.8020324707 by 15,000 and you get 27030.4870605
Finally 27,030.4870605 - 15,000 gives you 12030.4870605. Which means that the population increased by about 12,000.
Please mark me brainiest cuz I need one more to level up!! Thank you

Answer:
51m
Step-by-step explanation:
-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:
-Using ratios:
Let h be the height of the flagpole:
Hence, the height of the pole is 51m
