Answer:

22.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a  telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length

5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5

where x is the length of the pole

5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5

15/13 = x/25.5

cross multiply

15 * x = 13 * 25.5

Divide both sides by 15

x = 13 * 25.5 / 15

x = 22.1 inches

The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long

Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50.
-BARSIC- [3]

The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the cost of one drink is x dollar and cost of one popcorn is y dollar.

Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50  and  total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75

So, the system of equations will be......

2x+2y=12.50 ..................................... (1)\\ \\ 6x+5y= 33.75 ..................................... (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....

-3(2x+2y)=-3(12.50)\\ \\ -6x-6y=-37.50 ..................................... (3)

Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............

5y-6y=33.75-37.50\\ \\ -y=-3.75\\ \\ y=3.75

Plugging this y=3.75 into equation (1) ......

2x+2(3.75)=12.50\\ \\ 2x+7.50=12.50\\ \\ 2x=12.50-7.50=5\\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2}=2.50

So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

What is the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5√2,2√3) and (√2,2√3)
xxMikexx [17]
Let
A------> <span>(5√2,2√3)
B------> </span><span>(√2,2√3)

we know that
</span>the abscissa<span> and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a coordinate system</span>
the abscissa is the coordinate x<span>

step 1
find the midpoint
ABx------> midpoint AB in the coordinate x
</span>ABy------> midpoint AB in the coordinate y
<span>
ABx=[5</span>√2+√2]/2------> 6√2/2-----> 3√2
ABy=[2√3+2√3]/2------> 4√3/2-----> 2√3

the midpoint AB is (3√2,2√3)

the answer is
the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment  is 3√2

see the attached figure

Error Analysis: Pedro compares 7/33 and 2/11. He incorrectly says 7/33 &lt; 2/11 because 4.71 &lt; 5.50. Compare 7/33 and 2/11.
madreJ [45]
He divided the wrong way.  7/33 = .2121.....and 2/11 = .1818...., so actually 2/11 < 7/33
