Answer:

37 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right triangle as it elan's against the wall of the boat house.

Thus, the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c = length of ladder

a = 35 ft

b = 12 ft

Plug in the values

c² = 35² + 12²

c² = 1,225 + 144

c² = 1,369

c = √1,369

c = 37

Therefore, to reach the roof of the boathouse, the length of the ladder = 37 ft

#2: 4 cans : $2.36 =  13 : $7.67  SCALE FACTOR: $7.67 divided by $2.36 = 3.25
                                                 Use the SF to multiply the missing information.
                                                 So 4 cans x 3.25 = 13
 
YOU CAN BUY 13 CANS FOR $7.67

#4: 2 eggs: 1 1/2 cups of eggs : 10 pancakes =   :     : 35 pancakes
                                             
SCALE FACTOR: 35 pancakes divided by 10 pancakes= 3.5
Use the SF to multiply the missing information
So: 2 eggs x 3.5 = 7

7 EGGS WILL BE NEEDED TO MAKE 10 PANCAKES

#6: 54 pounds: 1 acre = pounds: 12.5 acres

SCALE FACTOR: 12.5 divided by 1 acre= 12.5
Use the SF to find out the mussing information
So, 54 pounds x 12.5 = 675 pounds

THE FARMER CAN HARVEST 675 POUNDS WITH 12.5 ACRES OF FIELD

#8: 90 miles: 120 minutes (5 hours) = 225 miles : 300 minutes (5 hours) 

SCALE FACTOR: 225 miles divided by 90 miles = 2.5
Use the SF to figure out the missing information
So, 120 minutes multiplied by 2.5 = 300 minutes (5 hours)

IT WILL TAKE 5 HOURS TO DRIVE 225 MILES

A pile of 42 coins worth $4.90, consisting of nickels and quarters. How many nickels are there?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:14

Step-by-step explanation:

A nickel is 5 cents (20% of dollar)

and a quarter is 25 cents (25% of dollar)

We have given a pile of 42 coins worth of $4.90

Let x be the no nickels and

y be the no of quarter

therefore

x+y=42    -----1

\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{20}=4.90 ---2

Solving \left ( 1\right )&\left ( 2\right ) we get

x=14 & y=28

Therefore no of nickels is 14 & no of quarters is 28

If AB=x and x=4, then the transitive property states
Anarel [89]

Answer:

4. AB=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Transitive property is like substitution, or that's how I like to think of it. Since we have 2 common variables and 2 equations, we can "link them together". Replacing x with 4, you get AB=4.

A biscuit recipe calls for 2 pounds of all purpose flour and .75 pound of butter, what would be the baker’s percentage for butte
Goryan [66]

Answer: 37.5%


Explanation:


Percentage is defined as parts of an amount  in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:

             % = (parts / base) × 100.


In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:


        % butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) × 100

         % butter = 0.75 × 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5


The answer is expressed as 37.5%.
