Answer:

The flagpole is 40 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are looking for the height of the flagpole. Let <em>h</em> represent this height.

Boy - 5 feet in height and casts a 20-foot shadow

Flag pole - <em>h</em> feet in height and casts a 160-foot shadow

The relationship looks something like this:

5 : 20 :: h : 160

or

\frac{5}{20} =\frac{h}{160}

Now, we can cross multiply to find h!

20h=800\\h=40

So, the flagpole is 40 feet tall

Suppose an opaque jar contains 3 red marbles and 10 green marbles. The following exercise refers to the experiment of picking tw
kow [346]

Answer:

\frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Red marbles = 3,

Green marbles = 10,

So, the total marbles = 3 + 10 = 13,

\because \text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Since, here replacement is not allowed,

Thus, the probability of getting a green marble and a red marble

= first red and second green + first green second red

=\frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}+\frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}

=2\times \frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}

=\frac{30}{78}

=\frac{5}{13}

Note : The probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second

= \frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}

=\frac{30}{156}

=\frac{5}{26}

The description below represents Function A and the table represents Function B: Function A The function is 2 more than 5 times
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The slope of Function A is greater than the slope of function B  while the y-intercept of Function  B is greater than the y-intercept of function A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A is f(x) = 5x + 2

The slope is 5 and the y-intercept is (0, 2).

Function B. The slope is  (5-2) / (0- -1) = 3.

also (8-5) / (1 - 0) = 3

The slope is 3.

The y-intercept is at (0, 5) because one point on the graph is (0, 5).

Divide the fractions and simplify the answer . 1/2 ÷ 5/8
Naya [18.7K]
Dividing fractions is equivalent to taking the reciprocal of the second and multiplying them.  In this case, we have 1/2*8/5=8/10=4/5.
