Answer from: chyg304

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x
15,5 = 3x + 1,5 / - 1,5 (both sides)
14 = 3x / : 3 (both sides)
x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.

Helpful Material:

1.5 = tail of a kite
Plus twice the length of the kite
Together = 15 feet in 6 inches

Illustration: 15.6 ÷ 1.5 = 10.4
1.5 × 2 = 3
1.5 × 3 = 4.5 The most useful equation is 1.5 × 10. The reason why is be-
1.5 × 4 = 6 cause if you that is the closest number that you can use to
1.5 × 5 = 7.5 divide.
1.5 × 6 = 9
1.5 × 7 = 10.5 The length of the kite is 10.4. I hope this helps.
1.5 × 8 = 12
1.5 × 9 = 13.5
1.5 × 10 = 15
1.5 × 11 = 16.5

since proposition $p$ states that a number is greater than 25, if $p$ is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
