A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 139 feet above the

Novay_Z [31]

The horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.

The figure is given by,

Here, AB = height of the lighthouse bacon light above the water = 139 feet

Now angle ACB = 5 degree

Let the horizontal distance of light house from the boat = BC = x feet

So by trigonometric function we get,

tan 5 = AB/BC

tan 5 = 139/x

x = 139/tan 5 = 1588.78 (approximately)

Hence the horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.

Jeremy’s fruit stand sells peaches and watermelons. In the first hour the fruit stand is open, 12 bushels of peaches and 5 water

polet [3.4K]

We define the variables:
p: cost of bushel of peaches
w: cost of watermelon
We wrote the system of equations:
12p + 5w = 150
15p + 8w = 198
We can represent the system in matrix form as
Ax = b
Where,
A = [12 5; 15 8]
b = [150; 198]
x = [p; w]

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=9\dfrac{1}{2}$

So Kimane and his friend still need to get $9\dfrac{1}{2}$ more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.
