When the shadow of a flagpole is 36 m long, a 1.8-m fencepost casts a shadow that is 3 m long. How tall is the flagpole?

Mathematics

Answer:

21.6 m long

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we find the scale factor of the fencepost and the shadow.

3/1.8 = 1.66666667

So, we know that when we take the original length and multiply it, we get the new one, so:

1.666666667 * x = 36

x being the original length. Now, we divide both sides by 1.66666667 to get x alone and find the original length.

x = 21.6

To double check, we can take the scale factor and multiply it by the original to get the shadow.

21.6 * 1.666666667 = 36

It is correct

irakobra [83]

Answer:

25/6 or 4 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) convert these fractions to improper fractions first:

8/3+3/2

make like denominators  by multiplying 8/3 by 2 and 3/2 by 3

so 8*2/3*2=16/6

3*3/2*3=9/6

16/6+9/6=25/6

If a faucet leaks 7 oz of water per minute, how many gallons of water are wasted in a year? (128 oz/gallon)
blagie [28]

Well, how many minutes are there in a year? It would be way too easy to  say "too many".

First, we calculate minutes in a day, which is 60 x 24 (minutes in an hour x number of hour)

This equals 1440. There are 365 days in a year, so we multiply 365 by 1440, which equals 525,600

The conversion of oz to gallon occurs, and bigger units mean division since their capacity makes the necessity for them significantly smaller; we divide 525600 by 128, and we get 4106.25.

4106.25 gallons of water are wasted in a year

Yes Borman is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Borman moved the decimal point 2 spaces to the left which gave her 0.153

Then she multiplied that by $148,000 to get 15.3% of it which would give her $22,644 so therefore, she is correct.
