The Swiger family recycles about 15 pounds of waste a week. This is 2/5 of the total waste a week. How many pounds of waste does the family produce each week? (Step by step explanation)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 37.5 lb/wk

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the total amount of waste.  We are told that (2/5) of X is 15 lb/wk.

(2/5)X = 15 lb/wk

X = (5/2)*(15lb/wk)

X = (75/2) il/wk

X = 37.5 lb/wk

Which of the following rational number between 3/7 and 7/8 ?
13/56
19/56
27/56
53/56

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator.  So ...

The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56

3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56

7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46

So you need a number that is between 49 and 24

There is only one 27 / 56

The base of a 14-foot ladder is 5 feet from a building, If the ladder reaches the flat roof, how tall is the building?

Answers

Using trigonometry you use cosine and get a final answer of 13.067 ft tall

The height of the wall of the building is 13.067 feet.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides. According to this statement, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.

Given that the base of a 14-foot ladder is 5 feet from a building. The height of the building will be calculated as below:-

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the height of the building.

H² = P² + B²

14² = P² + 5²

P² = 14² - 5²

P = √171 = 13.07 feet

Therefore, the height of the wall of the building is 13.067 feet.

x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0 by completing the square​

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0

x^2 - 6x = -1

We halve the coefficient of  x (which is -6/2 = -3) and square it, then add this to both sides:-

x^2 - 6x + (-3)^2 = -1 + (-3)^2

x^2 - 6x + 9 = -1 + 9

(x - 3)^2 = 8

x - 3 = ±√8

x =  3 ± √8

= 0.17, 5.83   to 2 decimal places.

David is making his own strawberry yogurt. In David's mixture, the number of strawberries is proportional to the amount of milk, in cups. David uses 4 cups of milk for every 14 strawberries in his mixture. Which equation represents the relationship between s, the number of strawberries, and m, the number of cups of milk he uses? ​

Answers

4 cups of milk = 14 strawberries

We want to find out how many strawberries for one cup of milk.   We can set a proportion.

4 / 1   =  14 / S

Cross multiply to solve for S.

4S = 14

 S = 7/2

S = (7/2)M
