40 foot tree = 12 foot shadow
24 foot tree = x foot shadow

6 boxes of 3-inch incense sticks for $22.75 is a better buy than 8 boxes for $30 and 10 boxes for $38.00
enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22.75/6 boxes is $3.79 per box

30/8 boxes is $3.75 a box

38/10 boxes is $3.80 a box

68/18=3.70 a box if you combine the last two.

So no, the 6 boxes at $3.79 a box is not a better buy.

A rectangle is 10 cm long and it's perimeter is 26cm . find the breath of the rectangle
gavmur [86]

Answer:

the width of a rectangular is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length L = 10 cm

Perimeter P = 26 cm

Width W = ?

perimeter = 2L + 2W

26 = 2(10) + 2W

26 - 20 = 2W

6 = 2W

W = 6 / 2

W = 3 cm

therefore,  the width of a rectangular is 3 cm

The temperature, t, in degrees Fahrenheit, can be found by counting the number of cricket chirps, c, heard in 14 seconds and the
dem82 [27]
Answers:
- All values of t must be positive
- A viable solution is (10, 50)


- All values of t must be positive. 
EXPLANATION
t, temperature (in Fahrenheit) is dependent on c
c is the number of cricket chirps heard in 14 seconds
Therefore, all values of c must be positive integers
If all values of c must be positive integers
Then all values of t must also be positive integers

- A viable solution is (10, 50).
EXPLANATION
t = c + 40
Since 10 is a positive integer, it is a possible value for c

If c = 10
t = 10 + 10
t = 50
Therefore a viable solution is (10, 50)

EXPLANATION FOR WHY OTHER OPTIONS ARE WRONG:
- The graph is continuous. 
This is WRONG because this function only allows the values of c to be only certain points in the interval (only positive integers). Therefore, it is a discrete function.

- A viable solution is (–2, 38)
This is WRONG because the -2 is a negative integer, and the value of c cannot be a negative integer.

- A viable solution is (0.5, 40.5)
This is WRONG because 0.5 is not an integer, and all values of t must also be positive integers.
