Answer:

309 full rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many full rolls he had by dividing 15,483 by 50:

15,483/50

= 309.66

Since the question asks for full rolls, the answer has to be a full number.

So, the answer is 309 full rolls

A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?

ra1l [238]

(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

g Given the system of equations: 15 c1 – 5 c2 – c3 = 2400 - 5 c1 + 18 c2 – 6 c3 = 3500 - 4 c1 - c2 + 12 c3 = 4000 (a) Calculate

Answer

(a)

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{3493} \begin{pmatrix} 210 && -59 && -12 \\ 84 && 176 && 95 \\ 77 && -5 && 295 \end{pmatrix}$

(b)

$A^{-1} b = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{500}{7} \\\\ \frac{2400}{7} \\\\ \frac{2700}{7} \end{pmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that when you want to solve a problem like this, you express the equation as following

$Ax = b$

So, if you know the inverse of $A$ then

$x = A^{-1} b$

For this case

$A = \begin{pmatrix} 15 && 5 && -1 \\ -5 && 18 && -6 \\ -4 && -1 && 12 \end{pmatrix}$

Now for this case the inverse of A would be

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{3493} \begin{pmatrix} 210 && -59 && -12 \\ 84 && 176 && 95 \\ 77 && -5 && 295 \end{pmatrix}$

Then when you multiply with the vector solution

$A^{-1} b = \frac{1}{3493} \begin{pmatrix} 210 && -59 && -12 \\ 84 && 176 && 95 \\ 77 && -5 && 295 \end{pmatrix} * \begin{pmatrix} 2400 \\ 3500 \\ 4000 \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{3493} \begin{pmatrix} 249500 \\ 1197600 \\ 1347300 \end{pmatrix}\\\\\\= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{500}{7} \\\\ \frac{2400}{7} \\\\ \frac{2700}{7} \end{pmatrix}$
