Answer:

14/1.8 = x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles,

height of man/length of man's shadow = height of tree/length of tree's shadow

1.8/4 = x/14

x/14 = 1.8/4

If we cross-multiply, we have

1.8 × 14 = x × 4

dividing both sides by 4 and 1.8,we have

14/4 = x/1.8

x/1.8 = 14/4

So, the two expressions we have are

x/14 = 1.8/4 and x/1.8 = 14/4.

So, the answer is 14/1.8 = x/4 since the product 1.8 × 14 = x × 4 cannot be expressed in the given ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) Eric rode 2 more miles per week than Kim rode

B.)Kim rode 3 more miles per week than Erick rode

C.) Kim rode 11 more miles per week than Erick rode

D.) Eric rode 17 more miles per week than Kim rode

Kim rode her biyciclye 135 miles in 9 weeks.

Number of miles Kim rode per week = Total miles travelled / number of weeks

= 135 miles / 9 weeks

= 15 miles per week

Eric rode her biciclye 102 miles in 6 weeks

Number of miles Eric rode per week = Total miles travelled / number of weeks

= 102 miles / 6 weeks

= 17 miles per week

The correct answer is

A.) Eric rode 2 more miles per week than Kim rode

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

Jackie wants to keep her total work time <em>under </em>20 hours, so we can set up a rough inequality right away:

(work time in hours) < 20

Now, it's going to take here 1/2 = 0.5 hours to finish each necklace, an 1 hour to finish each bracelet, so if she's making x necklaces, it'll take her 0.5x hours to make all of them, and if she's making y bracelets, it'll take her 1y = y hours to finish those. Putting the two together, it'll take her 0.5x + y hours altogether to make the necklaces and bracelets. Putting that together with our first inequality, we get the final inequality

0.5x + y < 20
