Thales, an ancient Greek mathematician, and philosopher used certain triangles to find the height of unknown objects. He waited

for the time of day when the shadow of a meter stick was exactly one meter long. At this exact moment, Thales said the height of the unknown object would also be the same as the length of its shadow. What type of triangle was he using? Explain why this theory works.

A cage holds two litter of rats. One litter comprises one female and five males. The other litter comprises seven females and tw
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The probability that the two rats are from the first litter is 14.28%, and the probability that the two rats are from the second litter is 34.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a cage holds two litter of rats, and one litter comprises one female and five males, while the other litter comprises seven females and two males, and a random selection of two rats is done, to find the probability that the two rats are from the same litter the following calculation must be performed:

6/15 x 5/14 = 0.1428

9/15 x 8/14 = 0.3428

Therefore, the probability that the two rats are from the first litter is 14.28%, and the probability that the two rats are from the second litter is 34.28%.

naomi's fish is 40 millimeters long. her guinea pig is 25 centimeters long. how much longer is the guinea pig than her fish
horrorfan [7]
Hi there!

The correct answer is 6.25 times.

This is how you get there:

1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm

2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25

If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.

I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!
