Answer: Length of his shadow is 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of tall monument = 64 foot

Length of shadow = 16 feet

Length of pole where Kyle is standing = 6 feet 3 inch = 72 inches

So, we need to find the length of its shadow.

So, according to question, we get that

$\dfrac{64\times 12}{16\times 12}=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4x=72\\\\x=\dfrac{72}{4}\\\\x=18\ feet$

Hence, length of his shadow is 18 feet.

The coffee Lily likes is composed of 97.3% water and 2.7% cocoa. The coffee John likes is composed of 96% water and 4% cocoa. Ho

mestny [16]

30 ounces of the coffee John likes consists of

$0.96\cdot30=28.8$ ounces of water
$0.04\cdot30=1.2$ ounces of cocoa

To this mixture we're adding $x$ ounces of water, so that the new mix has a total volume of $30+x$ ounces and matches the composition of the coffee Lily likes. This means it would consist of

$0.973\cdot(30+x)=28.8+x$ ounces of water
$0.027\cdot(30+x)=1.2$ ounces of cocoa (same amount of cocoa as before because pure water is being added)

Solve for $x$ :

$0.973(30+x)=28.8+x\implies29.12+0.973x=28.8+x$

$\implies0.39=0.027x$

$\implies x\approx14.4$

###

Just to confirm: the new mixture consists of

$28.8+14.4=43.2$ ounces of water
$1.2+0=1.2$ ounces of cocoa

giving a total volume of $43.2+1.2=44.4$ ounces of coffee, and $\dfrac{43.2}{44.4}\approx0.973$ , as required.
