Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
Answer:
120 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 5 exterior angles sum to 360 degrees.
So the 5th exterior angle = 360 - 4(60)
= 360 - 240
= 120 degrees.
The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
The percentage is 98%.
You can find this by multiplying 98% (0.98) and 150,000 to get 147,000. Then subtract 147,000 from 150,000 to get 3,000.
I hope this helps!
