Answer:

23ft approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Distance from tree= 10ft

Length of ladder= 25ft

We can find the height of the tree by applying the Pythagoras theorem

z^2= x^2+y^2

z= The height of the ladder

x= The distance from the tree

y= The height of the tree

25^2= 10^2+ y^2

625=100+y^2

625-100=y^2

525=y^2

y= √525

y= 22.91

Hence the height of the tree is 23ft approx

Molly had a $12 gift card to download music. She bought 8 songs that each cost the same amount. Write a variable equation, then

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Molly paid for each song $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> amount that Molly paid for each song

we know that

The amount that Molly paid for each song multiplied by 8 is equal to the gift card value

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$8x=12$

Solve for x

Divide by 8 both sides

$x=12/8$

$x=\$1.5$

Molly paid for each song $1.5

There are 29235 marbles and 371 jacks. If you want to know the percentage of jacks, do you divide the first number by the second

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer: Two decimal places to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

We will set the classic proportion:

29,235 - 100%

371 - x%

29,235 : 371 = 100 : x ⇒ 29,235 · x = 371 · 100

x = (371/ 29,235) · 100 = 0.0127 · 100 = 1.27%

x = 1.27%

You divide first number by the second and then multiply with 100,

which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right.

Hello! Can someone help with this question?

Hello! :)

$\large\boxed{\text{70 seconds}}$

Use a proportion to find how many seconds are needed to fold 5 shirts.

We are given that he takes 28 seconds to fold 2 shirts:

28 sec : 2 shirts

We are not given the amount of time needed for 5 shirts, which we need to solve:

x seconds : 5 shirts

Express in a fraction:

$\frac{2 shirts}{28 seconds} = \frac{5 shirts}{xseconds}$

Cross multiply and simplify:

$2 * x = 5 * 28\\\\2x = 140\\\\x = 70 sec$

Therefore, he needs 70 seconds to fold 5 shirts.
