Answer:

196.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the right triangle formed by the zip-line.  Use SOH-CAH-TOA to write and solve an equation:

tan 11.5° = 40 / x

x = 40 / tan 11.5°

x = 196.6

Rico bought 3 adult tickets and 5 child tickets for a total of $50.
aliina [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 50

x + 5y = 31

use substitution

x = 31-5y

3(31-5y) +5y = 50

93 -15y + 5y = 50

93 - 10y = 50

--10y = -43

y = 43/10 = $4.30 for kids

now solve for x

x + 5(4.30) = 31

x + 21.5 = 31

x = $9.5 for adults

What is 15.37×5 show work
just olya [345]
This should be quite easy to explain. So the first thing you want to do is multiply them. This isn't to hard if you know your times tables. Don't worry about the decimal till the end.

 15.37
×      5
---------
 76.85

15.37 times 5 is 76.85

Now on to the decimal. All you need to do is move it two times to the left. You see how it's in between the 5 and 3? The same goes for your answer. So it is 76.85 

I hope this helped!! ^^ I can make this a little more easier to explain if you want me to just in case, ok?
