Answer:

6 chairs

8 desks

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we assume that all 14 items he bought were chairs, if that was to be true then the office manager would spend...

125 x 14 = 1750$

We see that he spent less then he should have so now we start to substitute desks instead of chairs, and we have to keep in mind that if we change 1 chair to a desk then the total will increase by...

515 - 125 = 390$

Now we just find the difference between the needed total and the total that we get if the office manager would by only chairs and then divide the result by 390 in order to find the number of desks, and so we get...

(4870 - 1750) / 390 = 3120 / 390 = 8 desks

And now that we know the number of desks we just subtract the number of desks from 14 and get the number of chairs, and so...

14 - 8 = 6 chairs

From a height of 50 meters above sea level on a cliff, two ships are sighted due west. The angles of depression are 61° and 28°.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The ships are 66 meters apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B

As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.

The distance to the ship A is $d_1$ and it is given by

$tan (61^o)= \dfrac{50}{d_1}$

$d_1=\dfrac{50}{tan (61^o)}$

$\boxed{d_1= 27.71m}$

And the distance to the ship B is $d_2$ and is given by

$tan (28^o)= \dfrac{50}{d_2}$

$d_2=\dfrac{50}{tan (28^o)}$

$\boxed{ d_2=94.04m}$

Therefore, the distance $d$ between the ships A and B is

$d= d_2-d_1=94.04-27.7\\\\\boxed{d=66m}$

In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.

To prepare for a bake-off, Clarissa used 560 grams of flour each day for 3 weeks. How many kilograms did Clarissa use in those 3

Sindrei [870]

Convert G to kg
560/1000=.56 kg a day

If the bake off was 5 days
.56*5= 2.8kg... per week
2.8kg*3= 8.4 kg for 3 weeks

If it was 7 days
.56*7 = 3.92 kg per week
3.92*3= 11.76 kg for 3 weeks
