Answer:
In Shadowshaper, gentrification is a main theme. Gentrification refers to renovating a neighborhood to bring it up to certain standards. The author uses the reaction of the local residents to new buildings and establishments in Brooklyn to illustrate that gentrification creates negative feelings among the local residents.
Manny and his friends in the Junklot represent the old Brooklyn. Manny represents a tie to an even older Brooklyn and its heritage by representing a tie to Brooklyn’s spiritual past. These men show their dislike for the gentrification of Brooklyn by wanting Sierra to paint a mural on the façade of the building that represents the gentrification of Brooklyn on their block. To them, the mural communicates the message that they “spit on” (2) gentrification efforts and they think that it is “stupid” (2).

Answer:
86.7%.
Explanation:
Considering the diagram, the path of the tip of the blades is a circle.
Hence, determine the circumference of the circle.
C = 2πr = 2π * 3 ft = 6π ft.
Then determine how long the blade edges are all together.
6 in * 5 blades = 30 inches
Therefore, to determine the fraction of the circumference of 30 inches, convert circumference to inches
6π ft * (12 in ÷ 1 ft) = 72π in.
Hence, the probability of Gerald’s randomly timed shot hitting a blade of the windmill
=> 30 ÷ 72π
=> 30 ÷ [72 * (22/7)]
= 13.3%.
Finally, the probability of his shot getting past the blades is then 100 – 13.3 = 86.7%.
