Answer:

The answer is 15 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

(4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

15/4 × 1/4 pounds.

15/16 pounds.

Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, 15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces = 15 ounces.

Thus, The answer is 15 ounces

____ [38]

Answer: 70 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the figure attached.

The distance between the walls is:

$DE=AD+AE$

<em />

Both triangles are right triangles. Therefore, you can calculate the distance between the walls as following:

- Calculate the distance AD:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(60\°)=\frac{AD}{60}\\AD=30m$

- Calculate the distance AE:

$tan\beta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\tan(45\°)=\frac{40}{AE}\\\\AE=\frac{40}{tan(45\°)}\\\\AE=40m$

Therefore the distance between the walls is:

$DE=30m+40m=70m$
