Answer:

3 1/8 or 3.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would change 1 1/4 to 5/4. Then you would make a proportion of 5/4 or I like to use decimals, 1.25, over 8. Your proportion would look like: 1.25/8 = x/20. Then cross multiply 1.25 and 20 then divide your product by 8. Your final answer is 3.125 or 3 1/8. Hope this helps!

After a storm, two street lights with the same length are leaning against each
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

c = 4.79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete without a picture; find the question with the attachment.

Two poles AD and DB of same length are leaning against each other.

Distance between the poles (AB) = 45 feet

m(∠ADB) = 180°- (60 + 50)°

               = 70°

By sine rule,

\frac{sin50}{AD}=\frac{sin70}{45}=\frac{sin60}{DB}

AD=\frac{45\times (sin50)}{sin70}

      = 36.68 ft

Similarly,

DB = \frac{45\times sin60}{sin70}

     = 41.47 ft

Now c = DB - AD

           = 41.47 - 36.68

           = 4.79 feet

Answer:

  • x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2 log₅ x = log₅ 4

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a st
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

0.0323 = 3.23%. Is unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the normal distribution we can find z value with the mean and standard deviation as follows. x is the value we want to know its probability

z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

z = (5-8.54)/1.91

z = -1.85

Using z tables for normal distribution, for z = 1.85, we have an area under the curve of 0.9677. Since we want to know the probability for 5 minutes or less, we have to substract from

p = 1- 0.9677

p = 0.0323

An event with a probability less than 5% is considered unusual.
