Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some hints: "At the same time,"means you need to set up a proportion (two ratios equal each other).

The shadow is always on the ground.

A person and a flagpole always stands up straight, like a wall (vertical height)

Underline key words and numbers. Draw a picture for sure.

|X 5.5 ft. |

|____________ |____

flagpole=50 feet person's shadow=4 feet

shadow

Since it is easier to work with one type of measurement, change the person's height to feet only. The person is 5feet, 6inches Note: 12 inches= 1 foot, so 6 inches= 1/2 a feet and 6 inches= .5 feet

Determine if each table shown below represents a function or not ?
yarga [219]
Neither of them are functions. Functions cannot have two of the same numbers in the x value, and since the first table has two 5s in the x column and the second table has two 7s, neither of them can be functions.

Hope this helps :)

Ne4ueva [31]
First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!

a factory could produce 84 toy robots in one day. They purchased some new equipment. Now they can produce 105 robots in one day.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

25 % increase in production rate

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

Initial number of products = 84 toy robots per day

Present production rate = 105 robots per day

The percentage increase is given by the increase in production rate divided by the original production rate multiplied by 100  

Where increase in production rate = 105 - 84 = 21

Percentage increase = 21/84 ×100 = 25 % increase
