Answer:84

Step-by-step explanation:Using proportions, it is found that the height of the lighthouse is of 84 ft.

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

For a height of 5.25 feet, the shadow is of 8 feet. What is the height when the shadow is of 128 feet?

The rule of three is:

5.25 feet - 8 feet

x feet - 128 feet

Applying cross multiplication:

The height of the lighthouse is of 84 ft.

If your pace on a treadmill is 40.0 meters per minute, how many seconds will it take for you to walk a distance of 7220 feet?
Lelechka [254]

In this question , it is given that

your pace on a treadmill is 40.0 meters per minute.

In means 40 meters are travelled in one minute .

And  1 meter equals to 3.28 feet .

So 3.28*40 feet are travelled in one minute, that is

131.2 feets are travelled in 1 minute.

Therefore, 7220 feet are travelled in

= \frac{7220}{131.2} minutes = 55 minutes

4. IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. In a
borishaifa [10]

675 people will have score between 85 and 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mean = 100

SD = 15

If we have to find percentage of score between two values we have to find the z-score for both values and then area under the curve for both values

z-score is given by:

for a value x:

z-score = \frac{x-mean}{SD}

So,

For 85:

z-score = z_1 = \frac{85-mean}{SD}\\ = \frac{85-100}{15}\\=\frac{-15}{15}\\=-1

z-score = z_2 = \frac{120-mean}{SD}\\ = \frac{120-100}{15}\\=\frac{20}{15}\\=1.3333

Now we have to find the area under the curve for both values of z-score. z-score tables are used for this purpose.

So,

For z1 : 0.1587

For z2: 0.9082

The area between z11 and z2:

z_2-z_1 = 0.9082-0.1587=0.7495

So the probability of score between 85 and 120 is 0.7495

As the sample is of 900 people, the people with scores between 85 and 120 will be:

900*0.7495 = 674.55 people

Rounding off to nearest whole number

675 people will have score between 85 and 120

If f(x)=3-2x and g(x)=1/x+5, What is the value of (f/g) (8)?
Verizon [17]

(f/g)(8)=f(8)/g(8)

find f(8) and g(8) to mke it easier

f(8)=3-(8)=3-2(8)=3-16=-13

g(8)=1/(5+8)=1/13

so (f/g)(8)=-13/(1/13)=-13*13=-169

answer is -169

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

F' = (-6,3)

Distance = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

F is currently at (6,3).

Reflected over the y-axis, it would be at (-6,3).

That puts them 12 units apart.
