UNO [17]3 years ago
8 0
This works when it is not close to noon
put the yardstick next to the pole
measure the shadow of the pole, call it x
measure the letngh of the shadow of the yardstick
measure the height of the yardstick

the ratio of the height of the yardstick to the shadow of the yardstick should be close to the ratio of the height of the pole to the legnth of the shadow of the pole

3.2 cm on the map correspond to 4 km in the actual distance?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, 3.2 centimeters on the map is equivalent to 4 kilometers. We can use unitary method to find, how many kilometer/kilometers each centimeter corresponds to. Using the unitary method: Therefore, the scale of map represents 1.25 kilometers for each centimeter.

In a small town, the use of coal (W in tons/per
zimovet [89]

Answer:

i)W = 2500 / T

ii)  W = 500 Tons

iii) grad W(10°) = - 25î

iv) The formulation is not practical

Step-by-step explanation:

i)  Write an equation describing the use of coal

As use of coal is inversely proportional to the average monthly temperature

if  W is use of coal in tons/per month then

W(t)  =   k / T              where k is a constant of proportionality and T is the average temperature in degrees. We have to determine k from given conditions

k  =  ??   we know that when   T  =  25°    W = 100 tons  the by subtitution

W = k/T           100  =  k /25       k  =  2500 Tons*degree

Then final equation is:

W = 2500 / T

ii) Find the amount of coal when T = 5 degrees

W = 2500 / 5

W = 500 Tons

iii)

The inverse proportionality implies that W will decrease as T increase.

The vector gradient of W function is:

grad W  = DW(t)/dt î  

grad W  = - 2500/T² î

Wich agrees with the fact that W is decreasing.

And when T = 100°

grad W(10°) =  - 2500/ 100 î      ⇒  grad W(10°) = - 25î

iv) When T =  0  The quantity of coal tends to infinite and the previous formulation is not practical

Kobotan [32]

Answer

Multiply the divisor and dividend by

✔ 100

The new division problem becomes

✔ 4,860 ÷ 15

The quotient of 48.6 ÷ 0.15 is

✔ 324

Estimating to check, you get

✔ 5,000 ÷ 15 = 333.33
