A. The formal language in "as we stood there" and "a quarter of an hour" gives an expectant tone, making the passage sound suspenseful.

C .The informal language in "blue with cold" and "whizzing through" creates a miserable tone, making the passage sound depressing.

Throughout the passage the speaker describes the misery the people are enduring. He says, "how we shivered", "blue with cold", and "the minutes stretched" all add to this miserable tone. We don't know what is happening, but we are not left in suspense nor do things feel threatening or anxious. The simple informal statements with vivid descriptions of the elements add to the depressing feel of the passage.

danielle used 8cm of tape to wrap 4 presents if danielle used 30cm of tape how many presents did she wrap
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

15 presents

Explanation:

1. Find the amount it takes to multiply 8 by to get 30. The reason we need to find this is because we need to multiply 4 by the same number to get the amount of presents, because if you multiply one number in a relationship by some number, you have to do the same to the other number. To get from 8 to 30, you multiply by 3 3/4 (30/8).

2. Multiply 4 by that number. 4 * 30/8 (3 3/4) is equal to 30/2, which is equal to 15. This means that she wrapped 15 presents
