Using proportions, considering the relation between the height and the shadow, it is found that the cell phone tower is 50 feet.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

When the shadow is of 8 feet, the height is of 10 feet. What is the height when the shadow is of 40 feet? The<em> rule of three</em> is:

8 feet - 10 feet

40 feet - h feet

Applying cross multiplication:

8h = 10 x 40

Simplifying by 8:

h = 10 x 5 = 50 feet.

Step 1: 198 ×\frac{1}{3} = 66, the number of men who left the party

Step 2: 256×\frac{1}{4}= 64, the number of women who left the party

66+64=130

Since 130 is the number of people that left, you would subtract it from the total number of people at the party originally.

198+256=454

454-130=325

So, 325 people are left at the party

Peter works part time for 3 hours every day and Cindy works part time for 2 hours every day.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a. We can say that P > C, where 'P' represents Peter's earnings and 'C' represents Cindy's earnings.

Given that P = 3h and C = 2h, where h =$4.50. We can say also that 3h > 2h.

b. If Cindy wants to earn at least $14 a day working two hours. Then:

2h ≥  $14

To solve the problem, we just need to solve for 'h':

h ≥ $7

Therefore, se should earn more or equal to $14 per hour.
