Answer:

13.4feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up forms a right triangle.

Given

Height of the staircase h = 12 feet

Base of the stairs b = 6feet

Required

Length of the ramp l

Using the pythagoras theorem

l² = h² + b²

l² = 12²+6²

l² = 144 + 36

l² = 180

l = √180

l = 13.42 feet

Hence the length of the ramp to the nearest tenth is 13.4feet

What is 10 1/3 x 1/4? that is, what is ten and one third times one fourth?
Phantasy [73]

Answer: 31/12, or 2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is actually very simple. All you have to do is to simplify 10 1/3 into 31/3, as 10x3+1=31. Then, you have to multiply 31/3 with 1/4. Do a simple fraction multiplication, and you get 31/12, or 2 7/12 if your teacher is asking for a mixed number. Sometimes simplifying is better

Cant find the answer
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Carter family = 25 hours

Davis family = 31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.

So combined:

x + y = 45 hours

and we are also told that:

40x + 15y = 1300 L

So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.

With some rearranging, we can figure out that:

y= 45 - x

and by substituting that into the second equation:

40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L

25x = 1300 - 675

25x = 625

x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler

and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:

25 + y = 56

y = 31

The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
