Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches

Um- help-.. please don’t comment if you don’t know
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Each point does NOT ALWAYS give the same amount of tickets.

11 point would most likely give 90 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 points give 18 tickets = 9 tickets per point

3 points give 27 tickets = 9 tickets per point

9 points give 72 tickets = 8 tickets per point

You can add the 2 point value with the 9 point values to find out many point it takes to get to 90 tickets.

18(2 tickets) + 72(9 tickets) = 90(11 tickets)

Evaluate the expression when r = 8.2 and s = –3.7.
kiruha [24]
When you plug in the numbers for the integers, you get
8.2-2(-3.7)
If you multiply -2 and -3.7, you get 7.4 because the negatives cancel each other out.
If you then add 8.2, you get 15.6. So the answer is D.
Hope it Helps!  :)
