The height of the actual house is 26'.26" .

<h3>How to find the height of the house using ratio?</h3>

A ratio indicates how many times one number contains another.

Therefore, the heights will form a similar length. Therefore, the corresponding length have the same ratios.

Therefore,

height of Kelly / x = height of Kelly shadows / height of house shadow

Hence,

where

x = actual height of the house

5.4 / x = 8.7 / 42.3

cross multiply

42.3 × 5.4 = 8.7x

Therefore,

228.42 = 8.7x

divide both sides by 8.7

228.42 / 8.7 = 8.7x / 8.7

x = 26.2551724138

Therefore, the height of the actual house is 26'.26"

How do you write 199.4% as a decimal?
allsm [11]

Answer:

1.994

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 199.4% to a decimal rewrite 199.4 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.

199.4% = 199.4 over 100 or,

199.4%=199.4100

199.4 over 100 is the same as 199.4 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:

199.4 ÷ 100 = 1.994

Therefore, we have shown that

199.4% = 1.994

Simplified Conversion:

Remove the percent sign % and divide by 100.

199.4 ÷ 100 = 1.994

Shortcut Conversion:

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the percent sign %

199.4% becomes 1.994
