Answer:

20 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A stack of books is 5 feet high of the average book is 3 inches High.

To Find: How many books are in the stack?

Solution:

1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = $12 \times 5 = 60$ inches

Height of stack = 60 inches

Height of 1 book = 3 inches

Number of books in a stack = $\frac{\text{Height of stack}}{\text{Height of 1 book}}$

= $\frac{60}{3}$

= $20$

Hence,There are 20 books in a stack.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.9 or 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of shot is 47%

The probability of no shot is 100 -47 = 53%

The dot plot is made from the 10 repeated shots which recorded 25 scores.

The number of dots on the fifth tick is 9 of 10 shots

therefore; 9/10 = 0.9, which 90 in percentage.

Triangle QRS has been translated to create triangle Q'R'S'. RS= R'S' = 10 units, angles Q and Q' are both 90 degrees. Which post

RSB [31]

The correct answer is:

Explanation:

These will both be right triangles, as angle Q and angle Q' are both 90 degrees.

Since Q and Q' are the right angles, this means that RS and R'S' are the hypotenuses of the two right triangles.

Since Q'R'S' was created by translating QRS, a corresponding leg of both triangles will be congruent; this gives us hypotenuse-leg, or HL.

Maria’s family hosts a barbeque every month in the summer. In May, they bought 3.2 pounds of hamburger and 3 packages of hot dog

Sindrei [870]

Given:

May:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60
hotdogs: 3 packages * 4 = 12
Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60

June:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4
hotdogs: 3 packages * 1/3 = 1 package * 4 = 4
Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4

25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20

They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
