So this is ratios
actual height to shadow height=10 to 18=10:18=10/18=5/9
ratio is 5:9

if the shadow height=12 then find actual height
x:12=5:9 since they should be in the same ratio
x/12=5/9
multiply both sides by 12
x=60/9
x=6 and 6/9
x=6 and 2/3
height of person is 6 and 2/3 foot or 6.66ft or 6ft and 8 inches

a person invest $1,700 in an account that earns 3.97% annual interest. find when the value of the investment reaches $3,200
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

  16 1/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming interest is compounded annually, the account balance (A) after t years will be ...

  A = P(1 +r)^t

  3200 = 1700·1.0397^t

  log(3200) = log(1700) +t·log(1.0397)

  t = (log(3200) -log(1700))/log(1.0397) ≈ 16.247

The account will reach a balance of $3200 after about 16 1/4 years.

___

You may be asked to round your answer to the nearest integer or tenth. We leave that exercise to the student.

10. A bag contains 4 red balls, 6 green balls and some white balls. If the probability of not drawing a white ball in one draw b
klasskru [66]

Answer:

No of white balls = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total no of red balls = 4

Total no of green balls = 6

The probability of not drawing a white ball in one draw be, P=\dfrac{2}{3}

We need to find the number of white balls. Let there are x balls.

The probability of drawing a white ball = 1 - the probability of not drawing a white ball

= 1 -2/3

= 1/3

Using the formula for solving probability of having a white ball.

P=\dfrac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total no of outcomes}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{x}{4+6+x}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{x}{10+x}\\\\10+x=3x\\\\10=2x\\\\x=5

Hence, there are 5 white balls.

A lion’s heart beats 12 times in 16 seconds.how many heartbeats will it have in 60 seconds?
Sergio [31]
Hey there!

Here is your answer:

<u><em>The proper answer to this question is "44 times".</em></u>

Reason:

You have to solve it this way:

<u><em>12 heartbeats=16 seconds</em></u>

<u><em>16+16=32</em></u>
<u><em>36+16=48</em></u>
<u><em>48+16=64</em></u>
<u><em>16-12=4</em></u>
<u><em>12+12=36+8=44</em></u>

<em>Therefore lions heart beats 44 times every 60 seconds.</em>

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
