Answer:Cross multiply and solve for x.
x/6 = 5/1.25
let the height of building be h ft
h/6 = 60/15
h = 6(60/15) = 24
the building is 24 ft high
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first let’s covert the ft to in- 5ft is 60 in and 6ft is 72 in. Then we want to set up 2 fractions based on height and shadow, so we have 60/15=x/72 (we put x because that’s what we’re trying to find). Then we do cross multiplication so now we have 15x=4320. We divide 15, so now we have 4320/15=288. So the building is 288 in tall or 24ft tall! Glad to help! :)
If x² = 196, then we must do the inverse (square root) to find x. However, the square root of any positive number will always be ± (plus or minus).
That means you have to do:
√196 = x
x = <span>±14.
We can check this by doing:
14 </span>× 14 = 196
-14 × -14 = 196
Therefore the answer is B) -14, 14.
11 1/4 or 11.25 is the answer
Answer:
x= -10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is y2-y1 over x2 over x1 so
1-(-2) over -9-(x)=3
1+2=3 over -9-(x)
3/-9-x times -9-x = 3 times -9-x
3=3(-9-x)
3=-27-3x
3+27=-3x
30= -3x
-10= 3x
hope it helps man!!! :)
ps may i have brainliest so i can level up
Roberto overtakes Juanita at the rate of (7.7 mi)/(11 h) = 0.7 mi/h. This is the difference in their speeds. The sum of their speeds is (7.7 mi)/1 h) = 7.7 mi/h.
Roberto walks at the rate (7.7 + 0.7)/2 = 4.2 mi/h.
Juanita walks at the rate 4.2 - 0.7 = 3.5 mi/h.
_____
In a "sum and diference" problem, one solution is half the total of the sum and difference. If we let R and J be the respective speeds of Roberto and Juanita, we have
R + J = total speed
R - J = difference speed
Adding these two equations, we have
2R = (total speed + difference speed)
R = (total speed + difference speed)2 . . . . . as computed above
