Answer:

40 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of fence = 8 feets

Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets

Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets

Height of cell phone tower = x

Height of fence = shadow of fence

Height of tower = shadow of tower

8 feets= 14.5 feets

x feets = 72.5

Cross multiply :

(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)

14.5x = 580 feets

x = 580/14.5

x = 40 feets

Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

Compare 2x+8>18 and 2x+8 greaterthan or equal to 18
Sergio039 [100]
2x + 8 > 18                      2x+ 8 ≥ 18
2x > 18 -8                            2x ≥ 18 - 8
2x > 10                                 2x ≥ 10
x > 10/2                                  x ≥ 10/2
x>5                                          x ≥ 5

     The answer that combines both inequality is x ≥ 5

A chemical balance needs to weigh 237g using weights of 50g, 20g, 10g and 1g. How many of each weight is needed?
Delicious77 [7]

The required number of weights used in chemical balance to weigh 237g is 4,1,1,7 respectively.

What is mathematical expression?

A mathematical expression expression in mathematical is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Here, it is given that :

A chemical balance needs to weigh 237g using weights of 50g, 20g, 10g and 1g.

Now, let us find the number of weights for each weight type :

For 50g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 4 that is :

50g x 4 = 200g

Now, for 20g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 1 that is :

20g x 1 = 20g

Now, for 10g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 1 that is :

10g x 1 = 10g

Now, for 1g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 7 that is :

1g x 7 = 7g

Adding all the weights we get :

200g + 20g + 10g + 7g = 237g;

which is the required weight and the number of weights used is 4,1,1,7 respectively.
