Answer:

the building is thirty feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

so make a ratio of shadow to joey

5:45

simplify that to

1:9

so you can now divide 270 by nine

30

the building is thirty feet tall

A pool has 2 pipes, one to fill and one to empty it. Ms.Charles wants to fill the pool, but she mistakenly turns on both pipes a
dolphi86 [110]

-- The filler pipe can fill 1/6 of the pool every hour.

-- The drainer pipe can drain 1/10 of the pool every hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, the filler pipe
will win eventually, because it finishes more of the pool in an hour
than what the drain pipe can finish in an hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, then every hour,
1/6 of the pool fills and 1/10 of it empties.  The difference is   (1/6) - (1/10).

To do that subtraction, we need a common denominator.
The smallest denominator that works is 30.

       1/6  =  5/30

     1/10  =  3/30 .

So in every hour,  5/30 of the pool fills, and  3/30 of the pool empties.
The result of both at the same time is that  2/30 = 1/15  fills each hour.

If nobody notices what's going on and closes the drain pipe, it will take
<em><u>15 hours</u></em> to fill the pool.


If the drain pipe had <em><u>not</u></em> been open, the filler pipe alone could have filled
the pool <em><u>2-1/2 times</u></em> in that same 15 hours.  With both pipes open,
1-1/2 pool's worth of water went straight down the drain during that time,
and it was wasted. 

I would say that the school should take the cost of 1-1/2 poolsworth out
of Ms. Charles' pay at the rate of $5 a week.  I would, but that would
guarantee her more job security than she deserves after pulling a stunt
like that.

I hope this did not take place in California.

The area of a rectangular ice-skating rink is 900 square yards. If the length of the rink is 100 yards, want is the width of the
AURORKA [14]
The width would be 90.

900/100=90

Since it give you the over all square yards, you take that number and divide it by what ever the number would be and that gives you the answer.

2. Find the median of the data set: 15, 6, 7, 10, 8, 9, 8, 14, 13.<br><br>please help asap​
dangina [55]
<h2>9</h2>

To find the median the first thing we need to do is organize the numbers from smallest to largest:

6 7 8 8 9 10 13 14 15

Then if the amount of numbers is odd, the median is the number which is in the middle. In this case the middle number is 9.

6 7 8 8 9 10 13 14 15

Hope this helps mate! Best of luck to you. :)

Calculate how much each size per gram, and circle which gives the best value for money. 250g for $2.30, 400g for &amp;3.40, 1Kg
Bezzdna [24]
To do this, we must set up ratios:
Option One:
\frac{2.30}{250g}  \\  \frac{0.0092}{1g}  \\ 0.0092/g
The first options costs only $0.0092/gram (a fraction of a penny)!
Option Two:
\frac{3.40}{400g}  \\  \frac{0.0085}{1g} \\ 0.0085/g
The second option costs only $0.0085/gram (cheaper than option one)!
Option Three: 
This requires a little more work. First, we have to convert the grams into kilograms. For every 1 kg, there is 1,000 g. Therefore, 1,000g costs $5.65. Next, we set up the ratio as usual:
\frac{5.65}{1000g} \\  \frac{0.00565}{1g}  \\ 0.00565/g
The third option costs $0.00565/gram.

Therefore, option three is the cheapest! 

Hope this helps!
