Dixon is 6 feet tall,  Ariadne is 4 feet tall by proportion.

What in mathematics is a proportion?

  • A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.
  • For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls) There are 1 in 4 boys and 3 in 4 girls. 0.25 are male (by dividing 1 by 4)

We can use the proportion.

We already know that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9 ft long.

Also we know that the shadow of his sister is 6 ft long.

6 : x = 9 : 6, or 6 / x = 9 / 6.

After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6,

9 x = 36 ,

x = 36 /9,

x = 4.

Ariadne is 4 feet tall.

omeli [17]

Answer:

"no additional days of food need to be ordered."

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose initial quantity of food is x units

Assuming each student eats 1 unit of food per day,

x = 30 * 100 = 3000 units of food

In 2 days, food eaten:

100 * 1 * 2 = 200 units

So food left after 2 days is  3000 - 200 = 2800 units

Now, there are 140 students. They stay 2 weeks (14 days) - 2 = 12 more days

So food eaten in 12 days:

140 * 1 * 12 = 1680 units

<u>THus, after total 14 days gone, the amount of food left is:</u>

2800 - 1680 = 1120 units

Half students left, so there are 70 students left for the last 16 days. How much food would they need?

70 * 1 * 16 = 1120 units

And there are exactly 1120 units left. So, no additional days of food need to be ordered.
