Can someone help with these 3?

Which calculation will ALWAYS give a result greater than 1? A.5 × a number less than 1 B.4/9+ a fraction less than 12 C. 1 3/4 -

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

C. 1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

x < 3/4

(1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.

Plz help me 75 points for the 2 questions!!!

liraira [26]

Answer:

<u>The system of equations:</u>

2x + 7y = -11
3x + 5y = -22

Solve by elimination.

<u>Triple the first equation, double the second one, subtract the second from the first and solve for y:</u>

3(2x + 7y) - 2(3x + 5y) = 3(-11) - 2(-22)
6x + 21y - 6x - 10y = -33 + 44
11y = 11
y = 1

2x + 7*1 = -11
2x = -11 - 7
2x = -18
x = -9

<u>The solution is:</u>

x = -9, y = 1

<u>Simplifying in steps:</u>

8u - 29 > -3(3 - 4u)
8u - 29 > - 9 + 12u
12u - 8u < -29 + 9
4u < -20
u < -5

From a point A that is 8.20 m above level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a building s 31 deg 20 min and the angle

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

30.11 meters ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance of a point P ( lies on the building ) from the top of the building such that AP is perpendicular to the building and y be the distance of the building from point A, ( shown in the below diagram )

Given,

Point A is 8.20 m above level ground,

So, the height of the building = ( x + 8.20 ) meters,

Now, 1 degree = 60 minutes,

⇒ $1\text{ minute } =\frac{1}{60}\text{ degree }$

$20\text{ minutes }=\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ degree}$

$50\text{ minutes }=\frac{50}{60}=\frac{5}{6}\text{ degree}$

By the below diagram,

$tan ( 12^{\circ} 50') = \frac{8.20}{y}$

$tan(12+\frac{5}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}$

$tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}$

$\implies y=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}$

Now, again by the below diagram,

$tan (31^{\circ}20')=\frac{x}{y}$

$tan(31+\frac{1}{3})=\frac{x}{y}$

$\implies x=y\times tan(\frac{94}{3})=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}\times tan(\frac{94}{3})^{\circ}=21.9142943216\approx 21.91$

Hence, the height of the building = x + 8.20 = 30.11 meters (approx)
