Answer:

19.9875 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as:

Shadow of the student/Height of the student = Shadow of the telephone pole/Height of the telephone pole.

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

Shadow of the student = 5ft

Height of the student = 5 feet 4 inches

4 inches to feet

= 4 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.33 feet

Hence: Height of the student = 5 + 0.33 = 5.33 feet

Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 feet 9 inches long

9 inches to feet

= 9 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.75 feet

Hence: Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 + 0.75 = 18.75 feet

Height of the telephone pole= x

Therefore:

5/5.33 = 18.75/x

Cross Multiply

5x = 5.33 × 18.75

x = 5.33 × 18.75/5

x = 19.9875 feet

The height of the telephone pole = 19.9875 feet

Factor 75t2 + 12.<br> 3(5t + 2)2<br> 3(25+2 +4)<br> 3(251-4)
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

75t^2+12=3(25t^2+4)

Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with the expression 75t^2+12

The GCF of 75t^2 and 12 is 3

Hence we take 3 as GCF and bring it in front of the bracket.

3(25t^2+4)

It can not be factorise furthure  as there is no GCF of 25 and  also there is no rule for sum of squares so that we may apply it on this. Hence the answer would be

3(25t^2+4)

Option C)

or 12 1/6 ( simplified fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

first add the whole numbers together :7+5-4+3=12-1=11 ( same denominator 12)

1/12 +7/12 -5/12 +11/12 = 14/12  ( improper fraction)

= 1 2/12 mixed fraction

11 + 1 2/12=12 2/12 or 12 1/6 ( simplified fraction)

The total amount of deductions from an employee’s gross pay is $83.20. If the gross pay is $378.18, what percent of their gross
Masja [62]

Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent of something can be thought of as part of that thing divided by the total amount of the same thing and multiplied by 100%.

In this case, the part of the thing is part of a paycheck. The total thing is the total paycheck.

Percent=\frac{Part}{Total} *100%%

Percent=\frac{83.20}{378.18} *100=0.2200*100=22.000%
