A store brought 9 cases of light bulbs in May and 8 cases in June. There are 48 light bulbs in a case. How many light bulbs did

UkoKoshka [18]

So the store bought 9 cases of lightbulbs and in a case, there are 48.
9 * 48 = the number of lightbulbs in the nine cases. 432 is the number of light bulbs in the 9 cases they bought in May. So then let's move on to the cases they bought in June. Do the same thing 8 * 48 is 384. So then add the two amounts together and then you will get 816 which will be your answer. I hope this helps!

How many feet long is the shadow of a 15-foot flagpole if a 5-foot woman standing at the base of the flagpole has a shadow that

Vikentia [17]

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of woman = 5 foot

Shadow of woman = 6 feet

Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6

Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot

Height of flagpole = x

Ratio of height to shadow = x:15

Using proportion;

Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow

$5:6::x:15\\$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$6*x=15*5\\6x=75$

Dividing both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{75}{6}\\x=12.5$

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The equation showing this situation is $D=b^2-4ac=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A quadratic equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c=0$ has one real number solution.

To find : Which could be the equation?

Solution :

A quadratic equation in form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ has a solution $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ called a quadratic formula in which the roots are one real,two real or no real is determine by discriminant factor.
