If we work it through:
70mph is 11mph less than 3 times the fastest running speed for a man.
So 70 + 11 = 81mph is 3 times the fastest running speed for a man.
Can you see where to go from here?
X - 6y=18
2x-3y=9 |*-2
x -6y=18
-4x+6y=-18
----------------
-3x=0, x=0
2x-3y=9
2*0-3y=9
-3y=9, y=-9/3, y= -3
Answer:
x = 88.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle at the top of the triangle = 90° - 10° = 80°
and the left side of the triangle is x ( opposite sides of a rectangle )
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan80° =
= 
Multiply both sides by x
x × tan80° = 500 ( divide both sides by tan80° )
x =
≈ 88.2
<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot
a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?
we know that
1 foot=12 inches
so by proportion

therefore
<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?
we know that
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=12 inches
so
Convert 3 feet to inches
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.
Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?
we know that
<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money
She needs more money
She needs-------> 
therefore
<u>the answer part 3) is</u>
She needs
more
