Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brian Height = 6 feet

Brian Shadow Height = 4 foot

Flag Shadow Height = 20 foot

Flag Height = Unknown ??

So we can use cross multiplication

6/4 = x/20

6×20/4 = x

6×20 =120

120÷4 = 30

So x= 30, which is the Flag Height

I wish that I helped you with this.

As per linear equation, the  height of the flag pole is 30 feet.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation that has one or multiple variables with the highest power of the variable is 1.

Given, Brian is 6 feet tall and cast a 4 feet shadow.

Therefore, the ratio of Brain and it's shadow is

= 6/4

= 1.5

A flag pole cast a 20 foot shadow.

Therefore, the height of the flag pole is

= 20 × 1.5 feet

= 30 feet.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

(b)The original price of the shoes is $60.

Explanation:

Part A

In this situation:

• 15% is the PERCENT

,

• $9 is the PART

,

• The original price is the WHOLE.

Part B

If 15% is taken off, the customer will save $9.

This means that 15% of the original price = $9.

Let the original price=p

\begin{gathered} 15\%\text{ of p=9} \\ \frac{15}{100}p=9 \\ 15p=900 \\ p=\frac{900}{15} \\ p=60 \end{gathered}

The original price of the shoes is $60.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a table with first set of numbers as 1,3. Multiply both the numbers of this set sequentially by natural numbers to get the following table

1   2  3  4    5    6     7    8     9      10......

3  6  9  12  15    18   21   24   27    30......

We see that in each set of numbers the 2nd number is 3 times the first number.

If we plot these sets of numbers on a graph paper, we get a model depicting all the points which satisfy this ration requirement.

the ratio of students with bikes to students with scooters in the school is 85:51. What is the greatest common factor that you c
Vikentia [17]
Answer:GCF=17

To find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers, we first need to list the prime factors of both 85 and 51

52=3*17

85=5*17

17 is the sole common factor that these two numbers have in common, therefore 17 is the GCF.

To simplify the ratio, simply divide both numbers by 17.

85:51 becomes 5:3
