Answer:

36 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of women to men working at a grocery store is 4 to 5.

The ratio =

Women : Men

4 : 5

The sum of the proportion is 4 + 5 = 9

There are 16 women working at the store .

Let us represent the total number of people working at a grocery store as x

Hence:

4/9 of x = 16 women

4/9 × x = 16

4x/9 = 16

Cross Multiply

4x = 16 × 9

x = 16 × 9/4

x = 36 people

The total number of people working in the grocery store is 36 people

An airplane must clear a 60-foot pole at the end of a runway 500 yards long determine the angle of elevation at which the airpla
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

2.3 degrees.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We are told that an airplane must clear a 60-foot pole at the end of a runway 500 yards long.

Let us convert 500 yards to feet.

1 yard= 3 feet.

500 yards= 3*500 feet= 1500 feet.

We can see from our attachment pole and runway are in form of a right triangle. The pole is opposite to angle of elevation of plane and length of runway is adjacent.

Since tangent represents the relation between opposite and adjacent of right triangle, So we will use tangent to find angle of elevation that plane must ascend to clear the pole.  

tan(\theta)=\frac{60}{1500}    

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{60}{1500} )

\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.04)

\theta=2.290610042639

Therefore, the airplane must ascend 2.3 degrees to clear the pole.
