<span><span>Let x = amt of water evaporated

.05(50) = .08(50-x)
2.5 = 4 - .08x
.08x = 4 - 2.5
.08x = 1.5
x = 
x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated

Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right?
.05(50) = .08(50-18.75)
.05(50) = .08(31.25)
2.5 = 2.5</span><span>

Use the image below to answer the following question:
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The ratios are both identical. (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Th picture below represent the image you are referring.

sin x = opposite / hypotenuse

opposite side = 4

hypotenuse = 5

sin x° = 4/5

cos y° = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 4

hypotenuse = 5

cos y° = 4/5

The ratios are both identical (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)

The bottom of a doorway to a building is 3.45 feet above the ground, and a ramp to the door for the disabled is at an angle of 6
Darya [45]

Answer:

The ramp should be 32.9 feet longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ramp is at 6^{o} to the ground, its length can be determined by applying the appropriate trigonometric function. Let the length be represented by l, so that;

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Sin 6^{o} = \frac{3.45}{l}

l = \frac{3.45}{Sin 6^{o} }

 = \frac{3.45}{0.10453}

 = 33.0048

l = 33.0 feet

When the angle is reduced to 3^{o}, the length of the ramp would be;

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Sin 3^{o} = \frac{3.45}{l}

l = \frac{3.45}{Sin 3^{o} }

 = \frac{3.45}{0.05234}

= 65.9152

l = 65.9 feet

Change in length of ramp = 65.9 - 33.0

                            = 32.9

The ramp should be 32.9 feet longer.
