Answer:
The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft
Street sign height = 8 ft
Street sign shadow = 14 ft
Street lamp height = x
Process
1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.
Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign
shadow
Substitution
x / 31.5 = 8 / 14
Solve for x
x = (31.5)(8) / 14
Simplification
x = 254.4 / 14
Result
x = 18.2 ft
9514 1404 393
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
When this multiplication is carried out "by hand", the usual sum of partial products is ...
8·713 + 40·713
<u>Answer</u>
3×(2×5)
<u>Explanation</u>
Multiplication of numbers is associative. For example,
(a×b)×c = a×(b×c)
This is also called grouping. We multiply more than 2 numbers by grouping.
For the equation given above, (3x2)x5, it can also be grouped as 3×(2×5).
The
<u>correct answer</u> is:
9.2 ft.
Explanation:
The distance from a point (m,n) to a line Ax+By+C=0 is given by the formula:

We first need to write our equation in the form Ax+By+C=0.
y=(-6/7)x+7
First we will add 6/7x to each side:
y+6/7x=(-6/7x)+7+(6/7x)
y+6/7x=7
Now we will subtract 7 from each side:
y+6/7x-7=7-7
y+6/7x-7=0
It will be easier to work with this equation if we do not have fractions. We can accomplish this by multiplying everything by the denominator of the fraction, 7:
y(7)+(6/7x)(7)-7(7)=0
7y+(42/7)x-49=0
7y+6x-49=0
Now we rearrange the terms to the x term is in front:
6x+7y-49=0
This is in the form Ax+By+C=0, where A=6, B=7 and C=-49.
Substituting these into our formula above along with our coordinates from our point (m,n)=(6, 14) we have:
Answer:
0.717 or 71.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
P(M) = 0.852
P(D) = 0.759
P(M or D) = 0.894
The probability that a randomly selected American has both medical and dental insurance is given by the probability of having medical insurance, added to the probability of having dental insurance, minus the probability of having either insurance:

The probability is 0.717 or 71.7%.
