Answer:

25.92 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first minute, the hot air balloon rises 120 feet.

And it is given that, the balloon rises in a minute only 60% of the height it rose in the previous minute.  

Therefore, in the second minute, the balloon rises by (120×0.6) =72 feet

And in the third minute, the balloon rises by (72×0.6) =43.2 feet

Hence, in the fourth minute, the balloon rises by (43.2 ×0.6) =25.92 feet (Answer)

Pada hari kantin sebanyak 800 naskah kupon telah dijual,harga senaskah kupon masing masing rm 30 dan rm 50 .jumlah wang diperole
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On the day of the canteen, 800 coupons were sold, the price of each coupon was RM 30 and RM 50 respectively. The amount of money earned from the sale of coupons was RM30000. How many copies of RM30 and RM50 coupons were sold?

Let:

RM 30 = x

RM 50 = y

x + y = 800 - - - (1)

30x + 50y = 30000 - - - (2)

From (1)

x = 800 - y

Put x = 800 - y in (2)

30(800 - y) + 50y = 30000

24000 - 30y + 50y = 30000

24000 + 20y = 30000

20y = 30000 - 24000

20y = 6000

y =

Ann is 5 feet 3 inches tall. To find the height of a lamppost, she measured her shadow to be 8 feet 9 inches and the lamppost’s
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.

If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.

Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)

Ratio = 63/105

Reduce to the least fraction

Ratio = 3/5

If the height of the lamppost is H, then

H/144 = 3/5

H = (144 x3)/5

H = 86.4

Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.

Answer: x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

15 / 20 = (2x + 3) / 28

cross multiply

15(28) = 20(2x + 3)

420 = 40x + 60

360 = 40x

x = 9
