Answer:
at this point just hack it
To figure this out, we need to use fractional proportions.
Currently, we have $120, the amount earned, and 2 days, the current rate.
Our fraction for this is: 120 / 2 = x / 6, x being the amount earned in 6 days.
Let's use a little technique to help us answer faster.
With our current money earned, 120, and our current days, 2, we can divide 120 by 2 to find out how many we earned in 1 day.
120 / 2 = 60.
We earned $60 per day.
With this formula, 60d, d being the amount of days, we can solve quicker.
We are solving for 6 days, so multiply $60 by 6 days.
60 x 6 = 360
Your proportion is :
120/2 : 360/6
I hope this helps!
If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle. The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground. The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.
We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.
Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.
The tangent of the angle is (opposite) / (adjacent)
= (350 ft) / (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .
To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .
tan⁻¹(0.350) = 19.29° . (rounded)
Answer:
144 people were originally at the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
18 boys is one fifth of the second boys population, so the second population is 18x9 = 162. The original population would be 162-18, which equals 144.
