Answer:

  23,325 ft, about 4.42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle, where the side adjacent to the 2.7° angle of climb is the horizontal distance, and the side opposite is the vertical change in altitude. That change is ...

  5600 ft -4500 ft = 1100 ft

and the angle relation is ...

  tan(2.7°) = opposite/adjacent = (1100 ft)/(horizontal distance)

Multiplying this equation by (horizontal distance)/tan(2.7°) gives ...

   horizontal distance = (1100 ft)/tan(2.7°) ≈ 23,325 ft

Dividing this by 5280 ft/mi gives ...

  horizontal distance ≈ 4.42 mi

The airplane travels about 23,325 ft, or 4.42 miles, horizontally as it climbs.

Chelsea and her friends are making small fruit baskets for their neighbors. They have 90 pears, 45 peaches, and 75 apples. What
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

15 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a GCF question

The first step would be to find the factors of 45, 75 and 90

The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

The factors of 75 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75

The factors of 90 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90

The greatest common factor is 15.

Therefore, the greatest number of baskets they can make if each basket has the same number of pears, the same number of peaches, and same number of apples, with no fruit leftover is 15 baskets
