The first step to solve this question is to find out what 5/6 of 54000 is. So we multiply 5/6 by 54000. Why? Because there's the word "of" and "of" is usually associated in multiplication. So:

5/6 × 54000 = 45000.

So now we know that 5/6 of 54000 is 45000. So it means that she needs 45000 from senior citizens. But the question doesn't stop there, it also asks us to solve for the amount of votes she needs to win other than senior citizens.

Now we know that 45000 seniors need to vote for her we subtract 45000 to the total amount which is 54000.

54000 - 45000 is 9000.

So it means that she needs 9000 voters other than senior citizens to win the election for city council.

If Sandy bought a soft drink for 2 dollars that's 2 dollars subtracted from the total of $12.00 spent

If we have 10 dollars and bought 5 candy bars we would divide so 10 divided by 5 = 2 so each candy bar costed $2 dollars

Kaylib’s eye-level height is 48 ft above sea level, and addison’s eye-level height is 85 and one-third ft above sea level. how m
GalinKa [24]

The addison see to the horizon at 2 root 2mi.

We have given that,Kaylib’s eye-level height is 48 ft above sea level, and addison’s eye-level height is 85 and one-third ft above sea level.

We have to find the how much farther can addison see to the horizon

<h3>Which equation we get from the given condition?</h3>

d=\sqrt{\frac{3h}{2} }

Where, we have

d- the distance they can see in thousands

h- their eye-level height in feet

For Kaylib

d=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 48}{2} }\\\\d=\sqrt{{3(24)} }\\\\\\d=\sqrt{72}\\\\d=\sqrt{36\times 2}\\\\\\d=6\sqrt{2}....(1)

For Addison h=85(1/3)

d=\sqrt{\frac{3\times 85\frac{1}{3} }{2} }\\d\sqrt{\frac{256}{2} } \\d=\sqrt{128} \\d=8\sqrt{2} .....(2)

Subtracting both distances we get

8\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{2}  =2\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the addison see to the horizon at 2 root 2mi.

She decides to change the length of the top of the top of the trapezoid shaped garden from 32 to 24 ft. Which expression finds t
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

<h3>The change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sienna planned a trapezoid-shaped garden.

And She decides to change the length of the top of the trapezoid-shaped garden from 32 ft to 24 ft.

Let Old length of the top be 32 ft

Let New length of the top be 24 ft

Scale factor =\frac{New length}{old length}

Scale factor = \frac{24}{32}

=\frac{3}{4} ft

<h3>∴ the change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>
