Before attempting to solve any problem, make sure that the units are consistent. There are units of feet and inches. To be consistent,let's convert ft to in knowing that there are 12 inches in 1 ft.

9 ft*12 in/1 ft = 108 inches

Now, it also mentions that there are 5 of these. So, the total length would be:
Total Length = 108*5 = 540 inches

Finally, divide the total length to 15 inches.

Number of portions = 540/15 = <em>36 pieces of 15-inch ribbons</em>

and what is distance jeremy jumps from the ramp to the fire escape is _______ feet (round to the nearest tenth of a foot)
Cloud [144]

Answer:

sin(70°) =10/x

The distance Jeremy jumps from the ramp to the fire escape is <u>10.6</u> feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question shown in the picture attached, the vertical height Jeremy has to jump is: 15 - 5 = 10 ft

A right triangle is formed, where the angle between the hypotenuse (called x) and one of the legs is: 160° - 90° = 70°, and the vertical height Jeremy has to jump, is the leg opposite to that angle.

From sine definition:

sin(70°) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(70°) = 10/x

x = 10/sin(70°)

x = 10.6 ft
