Answer:
Its 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 1 inch is 100 miles and there are 500 miles so 1 inch times 5 is 5
For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)
The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).
(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3
___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

16 servings
because there are 4 cups in a quart, and two quarts is 8 cups.. if 5 cups of milk makes 10 servings there is half a cup in each serving.. so 8/.5 is 16
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
BE/BC=BD/BA
tHE TWO SIMILAR TRIANGLES ARE BED AND BC. tHE PROPORTION ABOVE REPRESENTS USE OF THE TWO SIMILAR TRIANGLES.
4/(4 + 10) = 5/(5+X) Cross Multiply
4(5+x) = 5(4+10)m
20 +4x=20 +50 subtract 20 from both sides
4x = 50 divide by 4
x =12.5
