Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the height of the top of a mountain above sea level
y ----> the deep of a shipwreck below the sea level
we know that
The sea level represent the height equal to zero
In this problem we have
---> is positive because is above sea level
---> is negative because is below sea level
To find out the distance between the mountain top and the ship wreck, determine the absolute value of the difference between the two values
substitute the values
If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of steps taken by Pete will be 72.
<h3>What are a ratio and a proportion?</h3>A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.
Pete, Lulu, and Liza are walking in the Boston downtown. Each time Pete takes 4 steps, Lulu takes 3 steps. Each time Lulu takes 5 steps, Liza takes 4 steps.
Then the relation between is given as
4 Pete → 4 Lulu
5 Lulu → 4 Liza
Then we have
If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of the step taken by Pete will be
