Answer:

This is a ratio problem.

To start, we can express "4 pencils cost $5" as a ratio:

=> 4 pencils : $5

Since we want to find out how many dollars 12 pencils cost, we see that we are multiplying the "pencils" section by 3, so we have to do the same to the dollar side.

=> 4 pencils * 3 : $5 * 3

=> 12 pencils : $15

Our answer is $15.

Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha, who has the same number of carrots as Oliver. If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver, the

choli [55]

"Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha:"
p = 2m

"If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver,"
p - 5 (Oliver is irrelevant.)

"then Martha has 3 times as many carrots as Pedro"

m = 3(p - 5)

We know p in terms of m, so substitute it in:
m = 3(2m - 5)

Distribute the 3:
m = 6m - 15

Subtract 6m from both sides:
m-6m=-15
Combine variable terms:

-5m=-15

Divide out -5

m = -15/-5

m = 3

The answer is c) 3

A roofer props a ladder against a wall so that the top of the ladder reaches a 30-foot roof that needs repair. If the angle of e

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Set this up like a right triangle with the height of the triangle as 30, the angle across from that side, the reference angle, as 55, and the base is your unknown, x. This means that we have the angle, the side across from it, and the side adjacent to it. That sounds like the tangent ratio to me! Tangent of the angle is the side opposite over the side adjacent: $tan(55)= \frac{30}{x}$ . Solving for x: $x= \frac{30}{tan(55)}$ . Do that on your calculator in degree mode to get that the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is 21 feet
