Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We take the denominator.
That is 8.
8 goes in twice.
16÷8=2
Yes your answers are correct
Answer:B=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.
One way you could write it would be
20 * x = 18 where x is the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.
Divide both sides by 20
20/20 * x = 18/20
But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.
18: 2 * 3 * 3
20: 2 * 2 *5
Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.
You are left with

Answer:
328 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From a boat ont he lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 11° 50'. If the base of the cliff is 1568 feet from the boat, how high is the cliff (to the nearest foot)
Step 1
Note that
that 11°50' is just 11 degrees and 50 minutes
60 minutes = 1 degree,
thus 50 minutes = x degree
50/60 degrees
= 0.83°
Hence: 11°50' = 11.83°.
Step 2
We solve using Trigonometric function of tan
tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent
theta = 11.83°
Adjacent = 1568 feet
Opposite = Height of the cliff = x
tan 11.83° = x/1568
Cross Multiply
x = tan 11.83 × 1568
x = 328.429195 feet
Approximately = 328 feet
The height of the cliff is 328 feet
