David cast a shadow 42" long at the same place and time in Emma cast a shadow 28" long. David is 66" tall. What is Emma's height
1 answer:
ANSWER
Emma is 44" tall
EXPLANATION
We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.
At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.
Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.
Let Emma's height be x.
The ratio of David's shadow to height is:
42 : 66 or 42 / 66
For Emma, it is:
28 : x or 28 / x
That means that:
So, Emma is 44" tall.

When your multiplying or dividing with negative numbers; If one of your numbers is negative like the one above, your answer will be negative
So 6 × 3 = 18 ; but since there is a negative on the 3 your answer will be -18
e. -20 ÷ 5
same for this; 20 ÷ 5 = 4, but since the 20 is negative the answer will be <span>-4

First go ahead and turn the fractions into improper fractions, this makes them a bit easier to work with. When multiplying fractions; they do not need a common denominator, all you do is multiply top by top and bottom by bottom.<span>
