Answer: 60 books

Step-by-step explanation:

One customer buys 1/4 of a book vendor's books , another buys 1/3 of his books ,and the third person buys 1/6 of his books.

The lowest common multiple of 4, 3 and 6 is 12

1/4 × 12 = 3

1/3 × 12 = 4

1/6 × 12 = 2

We add all together= 3+4+2= 9

So we've gotten our numerators as 9 and denominator as 12 which is 9/12 = 3/4

Since the total books bought is 3/4. The fraction of books left will be

1-3/4 = 1/4

The book vendor has 15 books left. So we divide 15 by 1/4.

= 15 ÷ 1/4

= 15 × 4

= 60

A ladder is leaning against the side of a house and forms a 65 degree Angel with the ground. The foot of the ladder is 8 feet fr
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

the length of the ladder is 8.827ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angle formed between the floor and the stairs is 65 °

the height at which the ladder reaches is 8 feet

between the floor and the house we know that we have a 90 degree angle

so we have a right triangle with its 8 foot wall leg

and an angle of 65 degrees on the floor and the stairs

the length of the stairs in this triangle would represent the hypotenuse

we have the angle and measure of the opposite leg, we want to know the hypotenuse

it is known that the sine of an angle in a rectangular triangle is equal to the opposite leg on the hypotenuse

sin 65° = op / hyp

sin 65° = 8 / hyp

0.9063 = 8 / hyp

hyp = 8 / 0.9063

hyp = 8.827

What is the equation for the line with a slope of - 2/3 that passes through (0, -2)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

y= -2/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a point and a slope, we can use the point slope formula

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})

m is the slope. In this case, m is -2/3

y1 is the y coordinate of the point. In this case, it is -2

x1 is the x coordinate. In this case it is 0.

We can substitute these values into the formula

y- -2= -2/3(x-0)

Distribute -2/3

y+2 = -2/3*x + -2/3*0

y+2= -2/3x+0

Subtract 2 from both sides. We want to get y by itself. This is because we want our line to be in y=mx+b form.

y+2-2= -2/3x+0-2

y= -2/3x -2
