A boy is twice as tall as his little sister and 30cm shorter than his father. Their combined height is 3.8 meters. Find (in cm) the height of each person.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of boy = 140 cm

Height of sister = 70 cm

Height of father = 170 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Combined height = 3.8 meters = 3.8*100 = 380 cm

Let,

b be the height of boy

s be the height of sister

f be the height of father

According to given statement;

b + s + f = 380     Eqn 1

b = 2s                  Eqn 2

b = f - 30             Eqn 3

Putting b=2s in Eqn 3

2s = f - 30

[tex]s=\frac{f-30}{2}[/tex]    

Putting these values in Eqn 1

[tex]f-30+\frac{f-30}{2}+f=380\\\frac{2f-60+f-30+2f}{2} = 380 \\\\5f - 90 = 760 \\5f = 760+90 \\5f = 850[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{5f}{5}=\frac{850}{5}\\f=170[/tex]

Putting f=170 in Eqn 3

b = 170 - 30

b = 140

Putting f=170 in Eqn 2

140 = 2s

s = 70

Hence,

Height of boy = 140 cm

Height of sister = 70 cm

Height of father = 170 cm

There is a sample of 500 and the population proportion is 0.47. What is the probability that the proportion is greater then 0.50

Answers

Answer: 0.0895

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p= population proportion.

Given : Sample size : n= 500

p= 0.47

Required probability = [tex]P(\ha{p}>0.50)[/tex]

[tex]=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.50-0.47}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.47(1-0.47)}{500}}}) \\\\=P(z>1.344)\ \ \ [z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]\\\\=1-P(z<1.344)\\\\=1-0.9105\approx0.0895[/tex]

Hence, required probability = 0.0895

If a line has a slope of 9/5. If one of the points on the line is (-10, -16), which could be another point?

Answers

Answer:

(–5, –7)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Slope = 9/5

Coordinate 1 = (–10, –16)

x₁ = –10

y₁ = –16

Coordinate 2 = (x₂, y₂)

Next, we shall determine the change in x and y coordinate. This can be obtained as follow:

Slope = change in y–coordinate / change in x–coordinate

Slope = Δy / Δx

Slope = 9/5

9/5 = Δy / Δx

Thus,

Δy = 9

Δx = 5

Next, we shall determine the second coordinates as follow:

Δy = y₂ – y₁

Δx = x₂ – x₁

For x–coordinate:

x₁ = –10

Δx = 5

Δx = x₂ – x₁

5 = x₂ – (–10)

5 = x₂ + 10

Collect like terms

x₂ = 5 – 10

x₂ = – 5

For y–coordinate:

y₁ = –16

Δy = 9

Δy = y₂ – y₁

9 = y₂ – (–16)

9 = y₂ + 16

Collect like terms

y₂ = 9 – 16

y₂ = – 7

Coordinate 2 = (x₂, y₂)

Coordinate 2 = (–5, –7)

Safe wheelchair ramp specifications require about 4.75° maximum angle to be constructed with the ground. At a particular building, the owner is installing a wheelchair ramp that needs to rise 1 feet off the ground. The owner insists on constructing the angle with the ground at 3°. How much horizontal distance will the ramp cover with these specifications?

Answers

Answer:

The ramp must cover a horizontal distance of approximately 19.081 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertical distance ([tex]y[/tex]), measured in feet, and the angle of the wheelchair ramp ([tex]\theta[/tex]), measured in sexagesimal degrees. The horizontal distance needed for the ramp ([tex]x[/tex]), measured in feet, is estimated by the following trigonometrical expression:

[tex]x = \frac{y}{\tan \theta}[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]y = 1\,ft[/tex] and [tex]\theta = 3^{\circ}[/tex], then the horizontal distance covered by this ramp is:

[tex]x = \frac{1\,ft}{\tan 3^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]x \approx 19.081\,ft[/tex]

The ramp must cover a horizontal distance of approximately 19.081 feet.

Answers

Correct question:

An elevator in a mine shaft is stopped at 25 feet below ground level. And then travels 28 feet downward. What equation can be written to find the final position in feet of the elevator in relations to ground level?

Answer:

-53 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial stop point = 25 feets below ground level

Further distance traveled = 28 feets below ground level

Final position in feet = Initial stop point + further distance traveled

Note : distances or point traveled below ground level or downward is represented as negative.

Final position in feets = (-25)feets + (-28)feets

Final position in feets = - 53 feets

Zachary and his children went into a grocery store and will buy bananas and peaches.

values for the number of bananas purchased, b, and the number of peaches


purchased, p.

Answers

Answer:

0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality function is as follows:

Let us assume the number of bananas acquired be b

And, the number of peaches acquired be p

Cost of each banana be $0.50

ANd, the cost of each peach be $1.50

Also the total would be $8

The possible values of banana is 0.5b

And, for peaches it would be 1.5p

So, the inequality function is

0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8

What is the difference between (-10)² & -10²? What are the values for each expression?

Answers

Answer:

(-10)² = 100

-10² = -100

Difference = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

For the individual expressions;

(-10)² = -10 * -10

(-10)²  = +100

For -10²

-10² = -(10*10)

-10² = -100

Taking the difference;

(-10)² - (-10²) = 100 - (-100)

(-10)² - (-10²) = 100 + 100

(-10)² - (-10²) = 200

Hence the difference is 200
