Given ratio: 5 (goats) : (to) 8 (sheep.)

The question asked that if Giles had 32 sheep, then how many goats would he have. We can figure out how many goats he would have by cross multiplying fractions.

5    z
-  x  -
8  32

To figure out the z variable, we simply cross multiply 5 and 32, which gets us 160. Now we divide it by 8. Whatever we get for z, that is our answer for goats. The answer would be <span>20.

Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down w
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Sam's time was 1 hour and 6.66 minutes (or 1 and 1/9 hours)

Liam's time was was 1 hour

So in conclusion, Liam was faster

Step-by-step explanation:

We got Sam's time by 1/1 because Sam was walking 1 mph and the length to reach the top of the hill is 1 mile. So it would take Sam 1 hour to walk 1 mile. Walking down the hill Sam's speed was 9 mph. So the equation would be 1/9. So you would get 1/9. 1/9 of 60 is 6.66 repeating.

For Liam it is pretty simple. Since he is going up the hill at 2 mph and the length of the bottom of the hill to the top is 1 mile, it would be 30 minutes. Repeat this for the top to the bottom and in total it would be 1 hour.

Hope this helps

jasenka [17]
The distance of the bird from the ground will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=50°
opposite=h
adjacent=12 ft
plugging in the values in the formula we get:
tan 50=h/12
thus
h=12tan50
h=14.301 ft
=14.3 ft
