Answer:
We can convert a mixed number (or mixed fraction) to a decimal. Strategies to convert mixed fractions to decimals: Change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction and then divide. Convert the fractional part only and then add it to the whole number.
Answer:
(D) 
Step-by-step explanation:
One could run this on a computer and verify the best fit through brute force. The more elegant way is, as usual, to think: What are special values of x for an exponential function? Zero, for starters - anything to the power of zero is 1. The function value for x=0 in the table is 10. Which choices A through D are close to 10 for x=0? Well, (C) and (D), the rest is too far. Next, what is the function value for the next easy one, x=1? The table says 30. Which of (C) and (D) is close to 30 for x = 1. It turns out we can safely exclude (C) because 10.84*1.77 is about 19 and that's way too far from 30. Let's check (D): 8.46*3.51=29.7 - that's quite close. Since there is no other candidate left, I bet my money on (D). Feel free to verify closeness for the other values of x if you are unconvinced yet.
Set up a proportion: x/y = x/y
(.75)/(15) = (x)/(25)
Then cross multiply:
(.75)(25) = (15)(x)
18.75 = 15x
x = 1.25 or (5/4)
There you go :)
Answer:
2.17ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the sketch of ladder at the beginning and after 3 seconds it starts to fall,
Distance of ladder from the wall 3 seconds after ladder starts to fall = Initial distance+ Velocity× time
= 6 + 2×3
= 12ft
Use trignometry to find out the speed of the top of ladder
cosθ= 12/20
θ= 0.825 rad
tan θ= v/2
v= 2.17ft/s
