Hi, I'm happy to help!

A number is rational if it repeats itself, or stops. This number, both in fraction and decimal form (8.5), stops. This means that the number is rational.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

A surfer is riding a 7 foot wave. The angle of depression from the surfer to the shoreline is 10 degrees. What is the distance f

denis23 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the surfer to the shoreline will be found as follows:

tan θ= opposite/adjacent

θ=10°

opposite=7ft

adjacent= x ft

substituting the values in our formula and solving for x we get

tan 10=7/x

hence

x=7/tan10

x=39.69897~ 39.7 ft

The surfer is 39.7 ft from the shoreline.

Jalen inherited a collection of vintage comic books. An appraiser separated the comic

sladkih [1.3K]

Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total value of comic books = $3135

Let,

Number of $45 comic books = x

Number of $65 comic books = y

According to given statement;

45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1

x=y+33 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$45(y+33)+65y=3135\\45y+1485+65y=3135\\110y=3135-1485\\110y=1650\\$

Dividing both sides by 110

$\frac{110y}{110}=\frac{1650}{110}\\y=15$

Putting y=15 in Eqn 2

$x=15+33\\x=48$

Total comic books = x+y

Total comic books = 48+15 = 63

Jalen has total 63 comic books.
