First you want to turn 1/3 into 5/15.
You can multiply 5/15 x 2 = 10/15. Thats as far as you get.
12/15
-10/15
__________
2/15 Pounds of granola left.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of years it will take the two colleges to have the same enrollment.
In 2000, there were 12900 students at college A, with a projected enrollment increase of 900 students per year. This means that the expected number of students at college A in x years time is
12900 + 900x
In the same year, there were 25,000 students at college B, with a projected enrollment decline of 700 students per year. This means that the expected number of students at college B in x years time is
25000 - 700x
For both colleges to have the same enrollment,
12900 + 900x = 25000 - 700x
900x + 700x = 25000 - 12900
1600x = 12100
x = 12100/1600
x = 7.56
Approximately 8 years
The year would be 2000 + 8 = 2008
we are given
we can see that
4a is in multiple in numerator
so, we can factor it out
now, we can cancel 4a
and we get
.............Answer
Answer:
The ramp is 21.8 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you convert this into a triangle, 40 ft is the hypotenuse, 33° is the angle next to the right angle (on the horizontal line) and we need to find how tall the ramp is, which will be x. It is very helpful to draw a picture.
We will use the sine ratio because, starting from the given degree of 33, we have the hypotenuse value and need to find the value opposite the degree:
Insert values:
Multiply 40 to both sides to isolate the variable:
Insert the value of x into a calculator:
Round if necessary:
Done.
