Answer:

Both

Step-by-step explanation:

Summer is three months in the year, there are four seasons in a year. Also, if you do 1/4 times 3 you get 3/12!

Answer:


Step-by-ste

Oh, oh! This is such a tricky question...

Guess what!

Both of them are correct. Why?

Because if we simplify 3/12, we get 1/4th!

(How do you simplify?)

3/12 = 1/4

Because if we divide both "3" and "12" in 3/12 by 3, we get 1 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 12.


I hope you've got it! ;)

A 32 foot ladder is leaning against a building and forms a 29.37 angle with the ground how far away from the building is the bas
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

the base of the ladder is 27.89  ft away from the building

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that this situation can be represented with a right angle triangle. The right angle being that made between the ground and the building, the ladder (32 ft long) being the hypotenuse of the triangle, the acute angle of 29.37^o being adjacent to the unknown side we are asked about (x). So, we can use the cosine function  to solve this:

cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\cos(29.37^o)=\frac{x}{32\,\,ft}\\32 \,\,cos(29.37^o)\,\,ft=x\\x=27.887\,\,ft

which rounded to the nearest hundredth gives;

x = 27.89  ft

For Mr. Ishimoto's class, Q3 is 35 and Q1 is 31. 35-31 = 4.
For Ms. Castillo's class, Q3 is 34 and Q1 is 30. 34-30 = 4.

Kendra charges $11 to shovel a driveway. She shoveled 4 driveways on Saturday and then some more on Sunday. She made $143 for th
White raven [17]

Let number of driveways , she shoveled on Sunday = x

And for 4 driveways , Kendra charges = 4*11=44

Therefore,

143 = 44 + 11x

And that's the model for the given situation .

Subtracting 44 from both sides,

143-44 = 11x

99 = 11x

Dividing both sides by 11

x = 9

Therefore she shoveled 9 driveways on Sunday .

five people, each working 8 hours a day, can assemble 400 toys in a five day work week. what is the average number of toys assem
vladimir1956 [14]

The question asks for the rate of toys per hour.

So we shall divide the total toys assembled by the total hours.

Its a five day week.

The number of hours allotted per day are 8.

So total allotted during the week are 8 × 5 = 40 hours.

Number of toys made during the week are 400.

Hence the number of toys assembled per hour per person

= number of toys / number of hours

= 400 / 40

= 10 toys per hour per person.

The average number of toys assembled per hour per person is 10.
