15. A birdhouse and the pole that it is on cast a shadow 15 feet long. If a person standing
nearby casts a shadow 5 feet long, and the person is 4 feet tall, how tall are the
birdhouse and the pole?
.a. 12
c. 18.75
b. 15
d. 13.25

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

15 feet total amount combined by pole and birdhouse

4 foot tall person makes 5 feet long shadow

5x3=15

4x3=12 so the birdhouse and pole are 12 feet

Answer 2

The birdhouse and the pole are 18.75 ft tall.

What is Equation Modelling?

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

We have a person standing nearby who casts a shadow 5 feet long. The person is 4 feet tall.

Assume that for the birdhouse and the pole are [x] ft tall.

Now, for a 4 feet tall person, the shadow is 5 feet long.

Then, for one feet long person, the shadow would be (5/4) feet long.

Then, for 15 feet long -

x/15 = 5/4

x = (15 x 5)/4

x = 75/4

x = 18.75 feet tall

Therefore, the birdhouse and the pole are 18.75 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation: There aren't any numbers that multiply to equal 6 but add to be -1.

There aren't any numbers that multiply to equal 6 but add to be -1 but we can say -6 and positive 1.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.A mathematical equation is a statement with two equal sides and an equal sign in between. example, 4 + 6 = 10. Both 4 + 6 and 10 can be seen on the left and right sides of the equal sign, respectively.

For that , we need to try solving it first using the method of substitution in which we express one variable in other variable's form and then it can substitute this value in other equation to get linear equation in one variable.

We need to find the number that equals 6 but adds to -1.

We can see that there aren't any numbers that multiply to equal 6 but add to be -1.

So, we conclude that number could be -6 and positive 1.

Answer : The surface area of triangular prism is 1080 in².

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the surface area of triangular prism is:

Surface area of triangular prism = (2 × Area of triangle) + Area of all rectangle

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

In the given triangular prism, there are 2 triangles and 3 different rectangles.

Surface area of triangular prism = [tex](2\times \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height)[/tex] + Area of rectangle ABCF + Area of rectangle ABDE + Area of rectangle CDEF

Surface area of triangular prism = [tex](2\times \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 24)+(24\times 14)+(26\times 14)+(14\times 10)[/tex]

Surface area of triangular prism = 1080 in²

Therefore, the surface area of triangular prism is 1080 in².

-5(3-x)+4=5x-11

Answers

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−5(3−x)+4=5x−11

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(3−x)+4=5x−11

(−5)(3)+(−5)(−x)+4=5x+−11(Distribute)

−15+5x+4=5x+−11

(5x)+(−15+4)=5x−11(Combine Like Terms)

5x+−11=5x−11

5x−11=5x−11

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

5x−11−5x=5x−11−5x

−11=−11

Step 3: Add 11 to both sides.

−11+11=−11+11

Step-by-step explanation:

It was Sarah's job to fill her neighbor's bird feeders with sunflower seeds while they were on vacation.


She was given 12 cups of seeds to fill the 3 bird feeders. She filled the bird feeders for a whole week.


How many cups of seeds did Sarah put in each bird feeder each day?



Answer with a explanation

Answers

Answer:

The number of cups of seeds that Sarah put in each bird feeder each day is:

= 4/7 or 0.57 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of cups of seeds = 12 cups

Number of bird feeders = 3

Therefore, each bird feeder will get 12/3 = 4 cups per week

In a week, there are 7 days.

This implies that each bird feeder will get 4/7 cups

This is equivalent to 0.57 cups for each bird feeder per day.

b) Sarah will be putting 4/7 cups of seeds in each bird feeder.  When 4/7 is multiplied by 3 *7, we get a total of 12 cups, which represent the total number of cups of seed given initially to Sarah.

Answer:

The number of cups of seeds that Sarah put in each bird feeder each day is: = 4/7 or 0.57 cups.

Hilary has 48 building blocks in the red bucket. That is 6 times as many blocks in the green bucket. How many building blocks are in the green bucket?

Answers

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Hilary has 48 building blocks in the red bucket which is 6 times as many blocks in the green bucket.

Let the number of building blocks that are in the green bucket be represented by x.

Based on the scenario given in the question, this will be:

6 × x = 48.

6x = 48

x = 48/6.

x = 8

A normal distribution of data has a mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 4. How many standard deviations from the
mean is 25?

Answers

Answer:

25 is 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

In this question:

Mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 4, so [tex]\mu = 15, \sigma = 4[/tex]

How many standard deviations from the mean is 25?

We have to find Z when [tex]X = 25[/tex]. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 15}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

So 25 is 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.

2.5
