PLZ I NEED HELP!!A tree is 12 feet tall and casts a shadow 9 feet long. A building nearby casts a shadow that measures 24 feet. How tall is the building?
A. 24
B. 21
C. 27
D. 32

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A tree is 12 feet tall and casts a 9-foot shadow.

The shadow is 3/4 the length of the tree (9/12 = 3/4).

We know the shadow of a nearby building is 24 feet long.

That would be 3/4 of the height of the building.

So, fidn the reciprocal of 3/4 (4/3) and multiply by 24.

24/1 * 4/3

Cross-cancellation

8/1 * 4/1

8 * 4

The building is 32 feet tall, which is D.

Nayeli brought Jamba Juice smoothies for herself and Evelyn after school one day the smoothies cost 4.95 each plus 8.5% tax how much charge did she receive from a $20 bill

Answers

Answer: $9.26

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost for each of their smoothies was:

= 4.95 * 2

= $9.90

Including taxes it will rise to:

= 9.90 * (1 + tax)

= 9.90 * (1 + 8.5%)

= $‭10.74

Change she will receive is:

= 20 - 10.74

= $9.26

Wade Boggs played professional baseball for three different teams in 18 years. The table shows his total number of hits for each team. Table showing the Red Sox had 2,098 hits, Yankees had 702 hits, and Devil Rays had 210 hits. Suppose he made the same number of hits each of the 18 years. If t = total number of hits and a = number of hits per year, which two equations can be used to determine the number of hits he made each year? Drag these equations into the box. t = 2,098 – 702 – 210. t = 2,098 + 702 + 210. t = 2,098 ÷ (702 + 210).a = 18 × t. a = 18 ÷ t a = t ÷ 18

These three points are collinear. (3, 6), (-2, -9), (0, -4)
True False

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine if the points are collinear, determine the rate of change(slope) between (-2, -9) and (0, -4) and then the rate of change between (0, -4) and (3,6) and rate of change between (-2, -9) and (3, 6). if the rates are equivalent then the points are all collinear

between (-2, -9) and (0, -4):

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(-4-(-9))/(0-(-2))

  =5/2

between (0, -4) and (3,6):

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(6-(-4))/(3-0)

=10/3

because 5/2 does not equal 10/3 the rates of change are not equal and the points are not collinear, do not need to consider slope between (-2, -9) and (3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

c(5)=(35.5)(5)−10

5c=177.5+−10

5c=(177.5 + −10) (Combine Like Terms)

5c=167.5

Divide both sides by 5.

5c/5 = 167.5/5

Michael earns $900 per month, plus 5% commission on all his sales over $750. what is the minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $3500 in a month?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000

Explanation: The minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000

Solution:

The expression to Michael earnings is:

Where,

b is the base salary, which is $ 900 in this sum

c is the commission rate

Given that commission rate is 5%

Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month

Here, at least means, "greater than or equal to" 2500

The inequality is framed as:

base salary + 5 % on sales  2500

Solve the inequality

 Therefore minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000

Kayla and totsakan each improved their yards by planting hostas and shrubs. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs, find the cost of one hosta and the cost of obe shrub.

Answers

Answer: one hosta = $5

One shrub = $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one hosta be h

Let the cost of one shrub be s

Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

8h + 5s = 80 ..... i

Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

9h + 5s = 85 ..... ii

8h + 5s = 80 ..... i

9h + 5s = 85 ..... ii

Subtract i from ii.

h = 5

The cost of one hosta is $5

Since 8h + 5s = 80

8(5) + 5s = 80

40 + 5s = 80

5s = 80 - 40

5s = 40

s = 40/5 = 8

One shrub cost $8.

Write an equation for the function g whose graph is the graph off
f(x) = -100(1.05)
translated to the right 5 units and up 50 units.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = -100(1.05)^(x+5) + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation that represents the transformation

5 units right means 5 units on the positive x-axis

50 units up means we add this to the total y value

So the resulting equation will be;

f(x) = -100(1.05)^(x+5) + 50
