<u>Answer</u>


1.6 miles


<u>Explanation.</u>

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.


You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent


tan 15° = S/6


S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155


Answer

S = 1.6 miles

Maggie's favorite salad dressing is made with 0.04 liter of vinegar and 0.4 liter of olive oil.She compares the value of the 4 i
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3:the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in decimal places, we have what is called place value. In a decimal number after the decimal point, each number place is divided by an increasing power of 10. So, for example, if we have a decimal number 0.82, the place value of the 8 is 8/10 while that of the 2 is 2/10² = 2/100.

So, in the given numbers, 0.04 has a place value of 4/100 and 0.4 has a place value of 4/10. So, we can see that 4/100 = 4/10 ÷ 10 = 4/10 × 1/10.

So, the value of the 4 in 0.04 is the value of the 4 in 0.4 divided by 10.
