Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 64 square feet

Base= x feet

Height= x+8 feet

The expression for the area

A= 1/2b*h

substitute

64= 1/2*x*(x+8)

64= 1/2*x^2+8x

64= (x^2+8x)/2

cross multiply

64*2= x^2+8x

128= x^2+8x

rearrange

x^2+8x-128= 0

using the quadratic formula

a=1

b=8

c=-128

x= -b±√b^2-4ac/2a

x= -1±√8^2-4*1*-128/2*1

simplifying

x= 8

x=-16

Hence the height of the base is

h= 8 feet

Answer:

The answer si:  

- 16 servings - 6 oz of salmon

- 24 servings - 9 oz of salmon

- 80 servings - 30 oz of salmon

- 100 servings - 37.5 oz of salmon

1 roll is 8 servings and it is also made of 3oz of smoked salmon. That means that 3oz of smoked salmon is needed fo 8 servings.

Now, let's made some proportions:

16 servings:

3 oz is for 8 servings, how much oz is for 16 servings:

3 : 8 = x : 16

x = 3 · 16 ÷ 8 = 6 oz

24 servings:

3 oz is for 8 servings, how much oz is for 24 servings:

3 : 8 = x : 24

x = 3 · 24 ÷ 8 = 9 oz

80 servings:

3 oz is for 8 servings, how much oz is for 80 servings:

3 : 8 = x : 80

x = 3 · 80 ÷ 8 = 30 oz

100 servings:

3 oz is for 8 servings, how much oz is for 100 servings:

3 : 8 = x : 100

x = 3 · 100 ÷ 8 = 37.5 oz

<h3>Answer:    4/13</h3>

Explanation:

There are 13 hearts, including the queen of hearts. Then there are 3 more queens to get us to 13+3 = 16 cards we're after.

There are 16 cards we want out of 52 total, so the probability is 16/52 = (4*4)/(4*13) = 4/13
