We can set this up as:
$\frac{4}{10} = \frac{x}{100} \ To\ help\ us\ find\ the\ percentage.\\ Cross\ multiply\ to\ give\ you\ 400 = 10x\\ Divide.\ 400/10 = x\\ X = 40.\\$
So, 40% was eaten

the length of the shadow of a pole on level ground increases by 90m when the angle of elevation of the sun changes from 58 degre

Mama L [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Let a triangle be formed with height of pole h, length of base b and angle of elevation 58°. (Due to lack of a figure).

Tan 58° = h / b = 1.6

(B) Let another triangle be formed with height of pole h, length of base (b + 90) and angle of elevation 36°. (Due to lack of a figure).

Tan 36° = h / (b + 90) = 0.72

1.6b = 0.72b + 64.8

b = 64.8 / 0.88 = 73.6 m

h (height of pole) = 1.6 * 73.6 = 117.76 m

There was a total of 18 apples

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the total no. of apples be 'a'.

Patriarca took 1/6 of the apples. So the remaining apples is,

a - (1/6) a= (5/6) a

Step 1:

His wife takes (1/5) of the rest of the apples. So after she takes the apples the remaining apples will be,

(5/6) a - (1/5) (5/6) a

(5/6) a - (1/6) a = (4/6) a

Step 2 :

Her elder son takes (1/4) of the remaining apples. So,

(4/6) a - (1/4) (4/6) a

(4/6) a - (1/6) a = (3/6) a

Step 3:

Middle son takes (1/3) of the remaining apples. So,

(3/6) a - (1/3) (3/6) a

(3/6) a - (1/6) a = (2/6) a

Step 4:

Younger son takes (1/2) of the remaining apples. So,

(2/6) a - (1/2) (2/6) a

(2/6) a - (1/6) a = (1/6) a

After work she takes the remaining 3 apples. So the remaining apples were 3

So,

(1/6) a = 3

a = 3 x 6

a = 18 apples

There were a total of 18 apples.
