Answer:

The actual diameter will be 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fountain is 10 feet tall, which is 120 inches. If you divide 120 inches by the model's 15 inches, you get 8. So, the ratio is for every 1 inch of the model, you have 8 inches on the actual fountain. You can then multiply 7.5 by 8 to find the diameter of the actual fountain.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, 1.5) and (0.5, 0.5)
Step2247 [10]

The slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have:

(-1,\ 1.5)\to x_1=-1,\ y_1=1.5\\(0.5,\ 0.5)\to x_2=0.5,\ y_2=0.5

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{0.5-1.5}{0.5-(-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{1.5}=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-1))\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-\dfrac{3}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ |+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\dfrac{3\cdot3}{2\cdot3}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{9}{6}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{6}

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the nearest w
Sonja [21]
To solve this problem, we are going to use a scientific/mathematics strategy called Dimensional Analysis.

40 miles / 1 hour * 5280 feet / 1 mile = 211200 feet / 1 hour

211200 feet / 1 hour * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3520 feet/ 1 minute

3520 feet / 1 minute * 1 minute / 60 seconds = approximately 59 feet / 1 second


Jackrabbits travel approximately 59 feet per second, when rounded to the nearest whole number.
