Answer:
The width of the actual pool is 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
You can put Kiara's scale into a ratio or fraction to help visualize it better: 13/6. Now, let's put what we do know for the other ratio into a fraction. we know that the pool is 26 centimeters wide, and since the 26 matches with the 13, that goes in the numerater. since we don't know the denominator, we can just put 26/x (you can use whatever letter you like but I'll use x here)
So in order to get 13/6 to 26/x, we need to find how to figure out what we are doing to the original fraction. Since 13 x 2= 26, it looks like we are multiplying the ratios by 2. Now that we know that, we can multiply the denominator (6) by 2 to equal 12, our answer.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
14/25, 6/25, 1/5, 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
Answer:
x = -34.8
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>solve the equation</u></h2>
2(x-3)
= 2x - 6
7(x + 24 )
= 7x + 168
put the equation together
2x - 6 = 7x + 168
now make x subject of formula:
2x - 7x = 168 +6
-5x = 174
x = 174/ -5
<h3><u>x = -34.8 </u></h3>
A conjunction is a word that joins words or phrases. <em>For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so...</em>The conjunction in this sentence would be and.
(<em>most</em> is an adverb, <em>wow</em> is an interjection, and <em>of</em> is a preposition)
