Answer: 17.5 or 35/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(If you change 4/5 to a decimal, it makes this easier. 4/5 would be 0.8.)

23.6 = (12 + x)*0.8

23.6 = 9.6 + 0.8x

14 = 0.8x

17.5 = x

17.5 as an improper fraction would be 35/2.

Which of the following shows an example of the commutative property of multiplication
Mars2501 [29]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

2 x 3 = 3 x 2

Explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication says we can multiply any two numbers in any order we want. The general rule is a x b = b x a, where x represents the multiplication symbol. The 'a' and 'b' can be any two numbers you want.

Choice C shows an example of this. Either side simplifies to 6.

Another example would be 4 x 5 = 5 x 4 where both sides become 20.

An engineer needs to determine the distance across a river without swimming to the other side. The engineer notices a tree on th
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The engineer can use a clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be represented by x, the she could determine the distance across the river, d, by applying the trigonometric function.

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

           = \frac{x}{d}

the the distance, d = x ÷ Tan θ

Assume the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is 30^{o}, and the height of the tree is 10 m, then the distance, d, across the river would be;

d = \frac{10}{0.5774}

  = 17.3190

d = 17.32 m

The sketch to the explanation is attached to this answer for more clarification.

A number is chosen at random from the first 20 integers. Find the probability that the number is a multiple of 3.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiples of 3: 3,6,9,12,15,18

There are 6 in the numbers 1-20

P(multiple of 3) = number of "multiples of 3" / total

                         = 6/20

                         =3/10
