It will take her  5 5/8 hours to read 3/4 of the book

<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>

Given that Elisabeth reads 1/5 of her book in 1 1/2 hours, this is expessed as:

0.2 of a book = 1.5 hours

In order to determine the time taken to read 0.75 part of the book, we will have:

0.75 of a book  = x

Take the ratios

0.2/0.75 = 1.5/x

0.2x = 1.125

x = 1.125/0.2

x =  5.625

Hence it will take her  5 5/8 hours to read 3/4 of the book

A building 50 ft high casts a 75-ft shadow. Sarah casts a 6-ft shadow. The triangle formed by the building and its shadow is sim
Rom4ik [11]
Make each known side into a ratio like so...
75/6 
(Because 75 is the shadow casted by the building, and 6 is the shadow casted by sarah)
and 50/x 
(50 is how tall the building is and sarah's height is what needs to be found) 
Therefore, 
75    50
----  -----
 6      x

Do cross products;
50 x 6 = 75 x X
300 = 75x 
Divide by 75 
x = 4ft

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =
devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx

Comparing this expression with the expression we're provided with:

x^2 + 10x + c

we see that:

a^2 = 1 \implies a = \pm 1\\b^2 = 10\\b = \pm 10\\2ab = c\\\pm2(10)1 = c\\c = \pm 20\\

Thus, the value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20
