Answer:

The redwood tree's shadow is 16 yards long.

9/12 = 12/x

9x = 144

9x/9 = 144/9

x = 16

Al, Tom and Joe share €3000.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Tom's share = €800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000

Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4

Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6

Therefore,

Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6

Let,

x be the number of times of amount each get.

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3000}{15}\\x=200

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800

Hence,

Tom's share = €800

Martiza remembers her pin because it is between 1000 and 1500 and it is a product of two consecutive prime numbers what is her p
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Her pin must be 1147

Step-by-step explanation:

A little trick I have up my sleeve when I have these kind of questions is that I find the square root of each number, then find what is prime.

\sqrt{1000}  = 31.6

\sqrt{1500} = 38.7

Since the only prime numbers in the range of 31 and 38 is 31 and 37.

We can then multiply 31 by 37 to get 1147.

Whats a line passing<br> through the<br> points (0, 0) and<br> (5,-7)?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

y = -7/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to use the two points to find the slope.

m = y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂

m = -7 - 0 / 5 - 0

m = -7/5

Now we know that the slope is -7/5. Now we'll substitute the information we've gathered into the point-slope form equation to get an equation.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-7) = -7/5(x - 5)

y + 7 = -7/5x + 7

y = -7/5x

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -7/5x.
