<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

03%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation Mickey should have drew first 7 cards that are not diamond and then on the 8th attempt she should draw an ace.

Let A be the event of drawing 7 cards which are not diamond and B the event of drawing an ace card. therefore required probability is P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)

Now, there are 13 diamonds and 39 other cards. Hence,

P(A)=(\frac{39}{52})⁷=0.1335

After drawing 7 non-diamond cards, the 8th card must be a diamond.Hence,

P(B)=\frac{13}{52}=0.25

Hence, P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)=0.1335*0.25=0.033(approximately 0.03,i.e. 3%)

Therefore probability that Mickey will draw her first diamond on the 8th

attempt is 3%

IgorLugansk [536]
According to the question, 
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,

y = 2n - 5  ........................this is your equation 
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.

Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now, 

Using unitary method,

Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
                                   = 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n

Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
