Answer:

The lamppost is 30 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a diagram of the problem. Refer to attachment.

Now you need to convert the measurements that are in feet to in. The 1 foot ruler is now 12 in. and the 5 foot post's shadow is now 60 in.

The next step is to create a proportion between both angles. \frac{x}{1} =\frac{60}{2}

x over 1 is simplified to x and 60 divided by 2 is just 30. So the lamppost is 30 ft tall.

Hope that helped. :)

Joseph has 24 cousins he has 6 more females than males how many females does he have?
Brums [2.3K]
Given that Joseph has 24 cousins, and he has 6 more females than males, the number of females will be obtained as follows;
suppose he had x males, number of females will be x+6.
The total will be:
x+(x+6)=24
x+x+6=24
2x+6=24
2x=24-6
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
thus the number of male cousins is 9, the number of female cousins will be 9+6=15
We therefore conclude that he has 9 male cousins and 15 female cousins

Which number line correctly shows –0.8 + 0.6? A number line going from negative 1.6 to positive 1.6. An arrow goes from negative
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Hi there, are you sure you didn't forget any parenthesis or signs? I can't find the right answer in the options, the one that would end up at -0.2 in the end I can edit my answer if you tell me some additional option or info about the expression I need to show on the number line

Step-by-step explanation:

which number line shows correctly -0.8 + 0.6?

well lets write it in words minus eight tenths plus six tenths\

so minus:

you go 0.8 units to the left from 0,

then plus:

you go 0.6 units right from -0.8, getting to -0.2

since there is no exact answer like that we can rearrange the addends 0.6-0.8, now:

we go from 0 6 tenths units to the right and get to 0.6, then we go from 0.6 eight tenths unit to the left to get to -0.2
