Answer:

33:79

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a factory is going to hire 33 new employees.

and the total applicants is 79

In this problem, we want to represent the situation as a ratio of new hires to applicants

Since the question says new hires to applicants

Hence, the ratio will be

33 to 79

33/79, we can simplify this as

33:79

Dr. Hoover, a pediatrician, has 3 annual checkups and 2 sick visits scheduled next Tuesday,

Jet001 [13]

Dr. Hoover allot his time on Tuesday for an annual checkup is 147 minutes and for a sick visit is 42 minutes (Total 189 minutes)

On Wednesday appointment, he allot his time for an annual checkup is 147 minutes and for a sick visit is 21 minutes (Total 168 minutes)

solution

Let us assume, minutes for annual checkup denoted as x and

minutes for sick visit denoted as y

The equation of Tuesday visit is $3x + 2y = 189 minutes ------ 1$

The equation of Wednesday visit is $3x + 1y = 168 minutes ------ 2$

by changing the signs of the equation 2 and subtract it from the equation 1 we will get 1y = 21 minutes

to substitute y =1 in the equation 2 we get

$3x + 2(21) = 189$

$3x + 42 = 189$

$3x = 189 - 42$

$3x = 147$

$x = 147 ÷ 3 = 49 minutes$

then now we have substitute both x = 49 and y= 21 in equation ----- 2

we will prove that $3x + 2y = 189 = 3 (49) + 2(21) = 189$ $147+ 42 = 189 minutes$

so the Tuesday appointment , the time allotted for an annual checkup is 147 minutes and for a sick visit is 42 minutes (Total 189 minutes)

On Wednesday appointment, the time allotted for an annual checkup is 147 minutes and for a sick visit is 21 minutes (Total 168 minutes)

The statue of Liberty stands on a 150 ft. pedestal. From a point 250 ft. from the base of the

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

148ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.

Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y

The height of the statue is x

But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft

The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft

And the angle of elevation = 50°

See attached document for better illustration.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 50°

Adjacent = 250

Opposite = y

Tan50 = t / 250

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × 1.1917

y = 297.925ft

The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft

The height of the statue = x

x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal

x = y - 150

x = 297.925 - 150

x = 147.925ft

Approximately 148ft

The height of the statue is 148ft

Answer:

The answer is "800"

Step-by-step explanation:

The total tax = $ 960

Total number of days =300

day =300

Seller credit =?

Formula:

$\bold{\text{Seller credit} = \frac{\text{total tax} \times \text{number of days}}{\text{day}}}$

$= \frac{960 \times 300}{360}\\\\= \frac{32 \times 300}{12}\\\\= 8 \times 100\\\\=800$
