Answer:

  • 16.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle is x

Imagine the right triangle with the angle x, with side opposite to angle x 15 ft and the adjacent side is 50 ft.

<u>Use trigonometry:</u>

  • tangent = opposite / adjacent
  • tan x = 15/50
  • tan x = 0.3
  • x = arctan 0.3
  • x = 16.7° (rounded)

1 1/3 miles in 1/4 hours
Romashka [77]

Answer:

So even though it'll be a little strange, you do just take the miles and divide by the hours.  Since 1 1/3 is the same as 4/3 then the rate = (4/3)/(1/4).  

That's the same as 4/3 * 4 = 16/3 miles per hour.  Or 5 1/3 miles per hour.

Find the quotient 3 6/7 divided by 5/21
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

81/5 or 16 1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

3 6/7

= (3*7 + 6) / 7

=  27/7.

So we have

27/7 / 5/21

Invert the second fraction and multiply:

= 27/7 * 21/5

= (27*21) / (7*5)

= (27*3) / 5        ( as 21/7 = 3)

= 81/5

= 16 1/5.
