Answer:

4.5 cups of tomatoes should be combined with 1.5 cups of bell peppers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the salsa is made with 6 parts tomato and 2 parts bell pepper.

Let t be tomatoes and b be bell peppers

The proportion will be:

t:b

The ratio of tomatoes to bell pepper will be:

6:2

This ratio simplifies to 3:1

This means no matter how much more the tomatoes and peppers are, the simplified ratio will be same.

Now the bell peppers are 1.5 cups then the proportion will be:

t:b::t:b\\6:2::t:1.5\\\frac{6}{2} = \frac{t}{1.5}\\3 = \frac{t}{1.5}\\t = 1.5 * 3\\t =4.5

Hence,

4.5 cups of tomatoes should be combined with 1.5 cups of bell peppers.

A tree 10 meters high casts a 17.3 meter shadow.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

the angle of elevation of the sun is \approx 30^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a diagram of the tree, ground and inclination of the rays of the sun, so we understand what right angle triangle we have. Please see the attached image.

Notice that our unknown is the angle \theta, and that we know the size of the side opposite to it, and of the side adjacent to it. Therefore the most convenient trigonometric formula to use is the tangent of the angle because:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{10}{17.3}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{10}{17.3})\\\theta\approx 30^o

Order.

9, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21

Now split into quarters.

9, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21
          |          |           |
        (1)                   (3)

Determine the values of (1) and (3) by using medians.

14 + 12 + 12 + 9 / 4
47 / 4
approx. 12

So Q1 = 12.

15 + 16 + 18 + 21 / 4
70 / 4
approx. 17

Therefore the answer is C I think. I have not done this ever before. All the knowledge I did was from research lol
