Answer:

Sugar Maple

8 + 1.5x = 15.5

Fraser Fir

8 + 0.25x = 9.25

Sycamore

8 + 2.5x = 12.5

Oak

8 + 4x = 28

It <u>cannot</u> be <em>Red Maple</em> or <em>Linden</em>, because they are multiplying the number of years by the height it already has. We are looking for the height it <u>will have</u> BASED on the <u>rate</u> that Chang calculated.

Therefore, we are multiplying the <u>RATE</u> by the <u>NUMBER OF YEARS (x)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It cannot be red maple, because you are multiplying the height it already has, and not the rate it will grow by. The same goes for Linden.  

The right expression to represent the growth of Red Maple would be

8 + 3x = 23

The right expression to represent the growth of Linden would be

8 + 1.5x = 15.5

Therefore, again, the <u>correct answer(s)</u> would be: <u>Sugar Maple, Fraser Fir, Sycamore, and Oak</u>.

jeka94

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan had 120 baseball cards. He gave 18 of them to his friend and the rest to his brother.

The number of baseball cards he gave to his brother is :

120 - 18 = 102 baseball cards

The percent of the baseball cards he gave to his brother is calculated as:

(Number of baseball cards given to his brother/ Total number of baseball cards) × 100

= 102/120 × 100

= 85%

The percent of baseball cards Evans gave his brother is 85%

A recommendation for wheelchair ramps is that the rise-to-run ratio be no greater than 1:12. This ensures that the ramps are nav
patriot [66]

Answer:

a. 12 feet b. 12 feet 0.5 inches c. 8.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How far out horizontally on the ground will it protrude from the building?

Since the rise to run ratio is 1:12 and the building is 12 inches off the ground, let x be the horizontal distance the ramp protrudes.

So, by ratios rise/run = 1/12 = 12/x

1/12 = 12/x

x = 12 × 12

x = 144 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144 inches = 144 × 1 inch = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches = 12 feet

b. How long should the ramp be?

The length of the ramp, L is gotten from Pythagoras' theorem since the ramp is a right-angled triangle with sides 12 inches and 144 inches respectively.

So, L = √(12² + 144²)

= √[12² + (12² × 12²)]

= 12√(1 + 144)

= 12√145

= 12 × 12.042

= 144.5 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144.5 inches = 144 × 1 inch + 0.5 inches = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches + 0.5 inches = 12 feet 0.5 inches

c. What percent grade is the ramp?

The percentage grade of the ramp = rise/run × 100 %

= 12 inches/144 inches × 100 %

= 1/12 × 100 %

= 0.0833 × 100 %

= 8.33 %
