W=3L/8, L=8W/3

A=LW and using L from above this becomes:

A=(8W^2)/3 and A=6 so

6=(8W^2)/3

18=8W^2

9/4=W^2

W=3/2=1.5 miles

You are buying boxes of cookies at a bakery. Each box of cookies costs \$4$4dollar sign, 4. In the equation below, ccc represent

Basile [38]

Answer:

The required equation is

d = 4c

where d represents the cost of cookies in dollar and c represents the number of boxes of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the cost of each box of cookies is $4.

It means,

The cost of 1 box of cookies is $4.

The cost of 2 boxes of cookies is $(4+4) =$(2×4)

The cost of 3 boxes of cookies is $(4+4+4) =$(3×4)

The cost of cookies

=(Number of boxes × 4)

The required equation is

d = 4c

where d represents the cost of cookies in dollar and c represents the number of boxes of cookies.

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

$a_1$ the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

$a_2$ the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

$\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

$S=a*h$ (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

$S=S_1+S_2$ (equation 2)

$S_1=a_1*h$

But we can write $S_1$ in terms of $\alpha _1$ , like this:

$\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}$

And for $S_2$ will be the same:

$S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}$

Replacing in the equation 2:

$S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})$

And replacing in the equation 1:

$h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}$

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

$h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft$

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Elizabeth lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, she has 333 transportation options (take a bus, a c

matrenka [14]

All transportation (bus, cab, train) are all similarly likely to be selected, and 1 of them must be selected at morning and evening, so we get: P (bus) = P (cab) = P (train) = 1/3. We also have P(no cab in evening) = P(no cab at morning) = 2/3
Now, P(using cab exactly once) = P(cab at morning and no cab in the evening) + P(no cab at morning and cab in the evening)
= P(cab, no cab) + P(no cab, cab)
= 1/3 * 2/3 + 2/3 * 1/3
= 2/9 + 2/9
= 4/9
Probability that Elizabeth uses a cab only once is 4/9.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Volume= 2.92cubic yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting to ft

23ft9inches= 23+(9/12)=23.75ft

10ft 1 in= 10 +(1/12)= 10.083ft

4 inches= (4/12)=0.333ft

Volume= L×W×H

Volume= 23.75 × 10.083×0.33= 79.02ft^3

Converting to cubic yard

1 cubic foot= 0.037 cubic yard

79.02 cubic feet= 0.037× 79.02= 2.92cubic yard

Carl has new bottle of laundry detergent he uses 0.4 cups of laundry detergent while washing one load of laundry and 0.7 coupon

oee [108]

Answer:

-1.1 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much was spent on the main bottle of detergent, we must add the expenses that were incurred in the wash.

The statement tells us that first there is an expense of 0.4 cups of laundry detergent while washing one load of laundry and 0.7 coupon another load, therefore this means that the change in the bottle would be:

(-0.4) + (-0.7) = -0.4 - 0.7 = -1.1 cups.

In other words, the main bottle would have 1.1 cups less, that is, -1.1 cups.
