A pole is used to support an observation platform. The top of the pole is secured by two guy wires, one 18 and the other 21 feet

in length. The 18 foot guy wire makes a 65± angle with the ground. How far apart, to the nearest foot, are the two wires at the points where they are anchored to the ground?

Let A be the point on the ground to with the 18 foot guy is anchored and D the point on the ground to with the 21 foot guy is anchored.

We can conclude that the <span>the two wires at the points where they are anchored are 21 feet apart. Check the procedures in the picture attached.</span>

to find the product 3 3/8 * 4 1/9.tara rewrote 3 3/8 as 17/8 amd 4 1/9 as 13/9. she multiplies the fractions to find the product
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The error Tara made is she rewrote incorrectly 3 3/8 as 17/8 and 4 1/9 as 13/9,

the corrected number can be rewrote as 3 3/8 as 27/8 and 4 1/9 as 37/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Product of:

3\frac{3}{8}\times 4\frac{1}{9}

The Number can be rewrote as,

\frac{3\times8+3}{8}\times \frac{4\times9+1}{9}\\\\\frac{24+3}{8}\times \frac{36+1}{9}\\\\\frac{27}{8}\times \frac{37}{9}

Tara made error here she rewrote the number incorrectly 3 3/8 as 17/8 amd 4 1/9 as 13/9.

Now multiplying the fraction we get

\frac{999}{72}

Because she rewrote incorrectly which led her answer to multiplication of fraction, the product too was incorrect which she wrote as 221/72.

Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. If each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms,
tia_tia [17]

We are given the following information:

<em />

<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>

<em>there are 6 boxes</em>

Because each box is \frac{8}{8}, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is \frac{3}{8*6}, or \frac{3}{48}.

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>

Swamp gas consists primarily of methane, a chemical compound consisting of a 1 : 4 ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms. If a sampl
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms = 1 : 4

It is given that a sample of methane consists of 1564 hydrogen atoms.

Let the carbon atoms in the sample = x

So, we have the relation,

\frac{Carbon}{Hydrogen}=\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}

i.e. \frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}

i.e. x=\frac{1564}{4}}

i.e. x= 391

Hence, the number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.
