Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two individuals maintain proportionality, then with the waist measurement of one person known, we can determine the other's waist size through the established ratio.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

Answer:

The waist measurement of the taller individual is 43.2 inches

Solution:

According to the provided information, if two individuals are proportionately similar, the taller person's waist will be 20% greater than that of the shorter individual for any given dimension. Thus, the waist of the taller person is calculated as 120% of the shorter person's measurement.

Therefore, multiplying 1.2 (representing 120%) by the 36 inches (the waist measurement of the shorter individual), yields the waist size for the taller person, which is 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For resolution, the Euclidean division is necessary:

  • The polynomial is expressed as 16-2x³-6x²+x+9=-2x³-6x²+x+9
  • We will divide this by:  4+3x-2=3x+2 and analyze the remainder

A visual representation of the process is provided

  • The remainder is 47/9, hence the value to subtract is 47/9

Ella spent her whole allowance of $2.00, plus the 16¢ she had left over from last week, in bubble gum. If the pieces of gum had
Zina [12379]
Determining the answer here is quite straightforward. Ella has a total of $2.16, and we need to ascertain the cost per piece of gum.
It is known that if the gum cost one cent less, she would have acquired three more pieces.
 Currently, with 8 pieces priced at 27 cents each, a reduced price would allow her to have 8.64 pieces. This outcome, even after rounding, is incorrect as it does not yield 11.
 For 9 pieces at 24 cents each, a cheaper price would mean she could have 9.39 pieces, which still does not round to 12, indicating it's incorrect.
 At 16 pieces costing 13.5 cents each, at one cent less, she would acquire 17.28 pieces, which also confirms it's wrong because rounding does not yield 19.
 When purchasing 24 pieces at 9 cents each, with the cheaper price, she could buy 27 pieces, which is valid since 27-24 equals 3.
 Therefore, the correct answer is D) 24
