Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

If the turn out of an event is to take place or not to take place only then, the sum of the probability of it taking place and not taking place is 1. If we represent the probability of it taking place by x then, the probability of it not taking place is equal to 1 - x.

A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.
