You buy a family-size box of laundry detergent that contains 48 cups. if your washing machine calls for 1 and 1/5 cups per wash load, how many loads of wash can you do?

40 loads

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many loads of wash you can do you need to divide 48 by 1 1/5.

There are two ways you can divide this, the first way is converting 48 to a fraction and dividing them.

48/1 divided by 1 1/5

convert 1 1/5 to an improper fraction

48/1 divided 6/5

change the division to multiplication and find the reciprocal of the second fraction.

48/1*5/6 = 240/6

Simplify to 40/1 or 40

The second way is changing 1 1/5 to a decimal, so its 1.2

Then divide 48 by 1.2 and you get 40.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

well what did you do it matters what you did : )
