Emily has 300 books. if frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has

2 answers:

8 0

This statement is false.
If he were to double the amount that Emily has to get franks, franks would have more.
Look :)
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 300 x 2 = 600

now...
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 600

So frank has more! NOT fewer.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

It will take turtle $2\frac{2}{5} \ hour$ to reach the pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour.

The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond.

Now, to find the time it will take the turtle to reach the pond.

Speed of turtle = $\frac{1}{12}\ kilometer\ per\ hour.$

Distance of turtle from the pond = $\frac{1}{5} \ kilometer.$

Now, to get the time it will take turtle to reach the pond we put formula:

$Time=\frac{Distance}{speed}$

$Time=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{12}}$

$Time=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{12}{1}$

$Time=\frac{12}{5}$

$Time=2\frac{2}{5}\ hour.$

Therefore, it will take turtle $2\frac{2}{5} \ hour$ to reach the pond.

A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the latter is 1 foot less than the len

masha68 [24]

Answer:

$25\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, ground, and building form a right triangle where the vertical distance between the top of the ladder and the bottom of the ground is one leg, the horizontal distance between the bottom of the ladder and the building is another leg, and the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse.

For any right triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of both legs is equal to the hypotenuse squared ( $a^2+b^2=c^2$ ), where $c$ is the hypotenuse.

Let the length of the ladder be $\ell$ (hypotenuse of right triangle). The distance between the top of the ladder and the ground (vertical distance) can be represented as $\ell -1$ .
