Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the proportion

Shadow /Height

From the question:.

Manny's shadow = 414 feet

Manny's Height = 512 feet

Height of the tree = ? = x

Shadow of the tree = 17 feet

Hence:

414/512 = 17/ x

Cross Multiply

414 × x = 512 × 17

x = 512 × 17/414

x = 21.024154589 feet

x ≈ Approximately = 21 feet

The height of the tree = 21 feet

6x + 7y = 1<br> 8x – 3y = 25<br> Solve me fast explainly
Elenna [48]

Answer:

{x,y} = {89/37,-71/37}

Step-by-step explanation:

 8x = 3y + 25

 [2]    x = 3y/8 + 25/8

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    6•(3y/8+25/8) + 7y = 1

  [1]    37y/4 = -71/4

  [1]    37y = -71

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

  [1]    37y = - 71

  [1]    y = - 71/37

By now we know this much :

   x = 3y/8+25/8

   y = -71/37

Use the  y  value to solve for  x  

   x = (3/8)(-71/37)+25/8 = 89/37

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$74,600

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the probability is 2.5%, mean=$55,000 and standard deviation= $10,000

-We find the z value of 2.5%

p=P(z>\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\1.96=P(z

Hence, the minimum amount of income to be in the top 2.5% is $74,600

Dave uses 5 gallons of gas to drive 140 miles on the highway. If he travels at the same rate, how many miles can he drive on 7 g
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

168 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If he uses 5 gallons to drive 140 miles, that means that he can drive 24 miles for every gallon (140/5=24)

7 times 24 is 168 so he can drive 168 miles on 7 gallons of gas
