Answer:

14dm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we can use the Pythogorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case, The ladder is the hypotenuse, the height is one of the leg of the right angle triangle

Let's keep the missing side as x

If we apply the theorem,

x^2 + 48^2 = 50^2

x^2 + 2304 = 2500

x^2 = 2500 - 2304

x^2 = 196

x =  \sqrt{196}  \\ x = 14

Answer:

2000 cm^2/min

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given question,

12 m^2/h = ? cm^2/min

We know,

1 h = 60 min and 1 m = 100 cm

So, by putting the values we get

  • 12 m^2/h = 12 × (100)^2/60

  • 12 m^2/h = 12×10000/60

  • 12 m^2/h = 2000 cm^2/min

Thus the answer of the given question is 2000 cm^2/min .

In a survey, four out of five people surveyed preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter. 120 people are shopping at the grocery
elixir [45]

Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.

Then the relative frequency is:

4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.

And we can assume that:

1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.

We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:

0.8*100% = 80%

0.2*100% = 20%

Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.

Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:

N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96

Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
