First of all, recall that 1.5m is the same as 150cm.

Now, we simply build a proportion where we consider 48 to be 100, and wonder what 150 will be:

$48\div 100 = 150 \div x$

Solving for x, we have

$x = \dfrac{150\cdot 100}{48}=\dfrac{15000}{48} = 312.5$

Which actually makes sense, because we're stating that 1.5m is about 300% of 48cm, which means three times as much. Which is true, because three times 48cm means 144cm, which is about 1.5m

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you must first have the numbers in the same units, that is, convert the meters to centimeters and operate with them or transform to meters and work with them, therefore, I decide to work with centimeters, like this:

1.5 meters = 150 centimeters (each meter equals 100 centimeters)

Then, you can make a simple rule of three, where 150 centimeters corresponds to 100% and you look for the percentage of 48 centimeters:

150 cm = 100%
48 cm = X

So:

X = (48 * 100) / 150
X = 4800/150
X = 32

Therefore, the percentage of 48 centimeters is equal to 32%.

Answer:

The ratio of Tan B is

$\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}$

$\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC

angle C = 90°

AB = Ramp = 17 feet

BC =Horizontal distance = 15 feet

AC = Height from floor = 8 feet

To Find:

Ratio of Tan B = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC By Tangent Identity we have

$\tan B= \dfrac{\textrm{side opposite to angle B}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle B}}$

Substituting the given values we get

$\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}$

$\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}$

wariber [46]

Answer:

27m

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the Pythagorean Theorem.

20^2+18^2=c^2

400+324=c^2

724=c^2

take the square root of both sides

26.9m=c

to the nearest meter = 27

Perry, maria, and lorna are painting rooms in a college dormitory. working alone, perry can paint a standard room in 3 hours, ma

Leviafan [203]

Answer:Perry and Lorna take the maximum time and Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Explanation: Since, according to the question- Perry takes time when he works alone = 3 hours

Similarly, Maria takes = 2 hours, While Lorna takes= 2 hours 30 minutes or 2.5 hours.

since, there are three people thus their are three possibility to choose any two of them.

1- when Perry and Maria work together then time taken by them is $\frac{1}{1/2+1/3}$ = $\frac{1}{5/6}$ = 6/5= 1 hour 12 minutes.

2- when Maria and Lorna work together then time taken by them is $\frac{1}{1/2 + 1/2.5}$ = 10/9= 1 hours 1/9 minutes ≈ 1 hours 7 min

3- when Perry and Lorna work together then time taken= $\frac{1}{1/3+1/2.5}$ = 15/11= 1 hour 4/11 minutes≈ 1 hours 21 minutes

From the above explanation, it has been proved that when we talk about 2 members team then Perry and Lorna take the maximum time. While Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.
