Answer: The ladder can reach at least 2 stories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided information indicates that

The height for each story in a building is approximately 10 feet.

The distance from the base of the ladder to the building is 24 feet.

To determine how many stories the ladder can access, we calculate.

Thus, the number of stories is determined by

\dfrac{\text{Length b/w ladder and building}}{\text{Height of one story}}\\\\=\dfrac{24}{10}\\\\=2.4

Consequently, the ladder can reach a minimum of 2 stories.

Which expression gives the distance between the points (4, 6) and (7, -3)?
PIT_PIT [12445]
The distance formula is
\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}. In the ordered pairs (4, 6), the first number 4 represents the x-coordinate while 6 is the y-coordinate. In (7, -3), 7 is the x-coordinate and -3 is the y-coordinate. Substituting these coordinates results in
\sqrt{(4-7)^2+(6--3)^2}. Since subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding a positive, we now have

How much of a 90% alloy must be combined with 70% gold alloy in order to get 60 ounces of an 85% gold alloy?
Leona [12618]
Let X be the amount of 90% alloy and Y be the amount of 70% alloy. The equations are: x + y = 60  0.9x + 0.7y = 0.85 * 60 By substituting, we have: 0.9x + 0.7(60 - x) = 0.85 * 60 This simplifies to: (0.9 - 0.7)x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60 Solving for x yields: x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60/(0.9 - 0.7) x = 45 ounces For Y, we find: y = 60 - 45 y = 15 ounces

zzz [12365]
To find the Volume (V) of a sphere, we need to divide the machine's Volume (V) by the volume of a gumball (v). So, when we perform this division, we find that 5,832 gumballs can fit into the machine.

Jake forgot to replace the cap on a bottle of deodorant. The deodorant began to evaporate at the rate of 12% per day. If the ori
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

graph representing the function f of x equals 30 multiplied by 0.88 raised to the exponent of x

Step-by-step explanation:

The deodorant starts to evaporate, indicating a mass reduction, thus 12% represents the decay rate. In exponential decay, the function's graphical representation adheres to the formula:

y=a(1-r)^x

Where a signifies the starting quantity (a=30), r is the decay rate (r=0.12) and x denotes the time intervals, measured in days for this case. By inserting the given values into the formula:

y=30(1-0.12)^x\\y=30(0.88)^x

Which aligns with the "graph representing the function f of x equals 30 multiplied by 0.88 raised to the exponent of x".
