Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of people that attended the movie.

And y the number of adults that attended the movie

Given;

Percent of adults that attended the movie = 40%

Number of adults that attended the movie y = 20

So,

40% of those that attended the movie area adults.

y = 40% of x

y = 40/100 × x

y = 0.4x

(Ratio of y to x is 4:10 or 0.4)

Making x the subject of formula;

x = y/0.4

Substituting the value of y given;

x = 20/0.4

x = 50

Therefore, 50 people attended the movie.

two vertical cliffs are on opposite sides of a 90 foot wide river. From point A at the top of the shorter cliff, the angle of el
Sedbober [7]
Answer: The tall cliff is 118.20 feet tall and the short cliff is 70.32 feet tall.

If you draw a picture with 2 cliffs and a river in the middle, you have find 2 right triangles. In each triangle the adjacent side to our known angle is the river of 90 feet. And the unknown side is the opposite leg.

Therefore, we can set up a tangent equation.

From the top of the short cliff to the top of the tall cliff, we can right and solve the following trig equation:

tan(28) = x /90
x = 47.88

From the top of the short cliff to the bottom, we can right and solve the following trip equation.

tan(38) = x/90
x = 70.32

The 70.32 is also the height of the short cliff. And adding the two answers together will give you the height of the tall cliff.

During a four-week period, you worked the following hours: Week 1- 363 /8 hr; Week 2- 411 /4 hr; Week 3- 401 /2 hr; Week 4- 383
Dafna11 [192]
The average number of hours can be calculated using the following rule:
average number of hours = total number of hours / total number of weeks

total number of hours = 36 3/8 + 41 1/4 + 40 1/2 + 38 3/8 = 313/2 hours
total number of weeks = 4 weeks

Average number of hours per week = (313/2) / (4) = 39 1/8 hour

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is:
C. 39 1/8 hour
