5.5 quarts equals 22 cups. (There are 4cups in a quart, so 4 * 5.5 = 22)
22-4= 18 cups
Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Answer:
18÷n or 18a
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached the picture associated with this question.
Answer:x = 2
y = 5
Explanation:ABCD is a parallelogram. This means that each two opposite sides are equal.
This means that:1- AB = CD2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2- AD = BC3x = y + 1
This can be rewritten as:y = 3x - 1............> equation II
Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for x as follows:2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2(3x - 1) + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 2 + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 1 = 7x - 3
7x - 6x = -1 + 3
x = 2
Substitute with x in equation I to get y as follows:y = 3x - 1
y = 3(2) - 1
y = 6 - 1
y = 5
