This problem is about ratios.

\frac{height}{shadow} = \frac{5ft \:}{11ft} = \frac{x}{110}

Solve for X

x = \frac{5 \times 110}{11} = 50ft

The tree is 50ft tall.

A nut store normally sells cashews for​ $4.00 per pound and peanuts for​ $1.50 per pound. But at the end of the month the peanut
Dvinal [7]

Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue.

The nut store normally sells cashews for​ $4.00 per pound and peanuts for​ $1.50 per pound.

In order to sell 60 pounds of​ peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that

4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)

4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x

4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90

1.5x = 60

x = 60/1.5

x = 40

A teacher writes an inequality x divided by 6 < -2 on the board. Vincent incorrectly solves the inequality and obtains x <
scZoUnD [109]

The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality that the teacher wrote is:

\frac{x}{6} -2

Solving an inequality means that the variable should be isolated on left side of the inequality.

So multiplying both sides by 6

6* \frac{2}{6} < -2 * 6\\x < -12

Vincent got the answer is x<-2 = > The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides

Answer:

Distance(PQ)=\sqrt{113}

Step-by-step explanation:

In coordinate geometry distance between the two points can be find by using the distance formula:

For two points :

            (x_1,y_1)\\and \\(x_2,y_2)

Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For points: P(3,-1) and Q(-5,6)

Distance (PQ):

                    =\sqrt{(-5-3)^2+(6-(-1))^2} \\\\=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(6+1)^2}\\\\ =\sqrt{(-8)^2+(7)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{64+49}\\\\Distance(PQ) =\sqrt{113}\\\\
