Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{height of object}{length of shadow}

Let the hight of the soldier be x

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{2.25}

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form a proportion;

24                    x

____    =      _____ ,

 9                   2.25

24(2.25) = 9x,

54 = 9x,

x = height of soldier = 6 feet

1. If a tank leaks 10 mL of fluid each hour, how long will it take to fill up a one liter jar?
AnnZ [28]
Q1. The answer is 100 hours


10 ml is for 1 hours
1l is for x hours
1l = 1000 ml

So, make a proportion: 
10 ml is for 1 hours
1000 ml is for x
10 ml : 1h = 1000 ml : x
x = 1h * 1000 ml : 10 ml = 100 hours



Q2. The answers are:

1. kg - measurement of mass
2. cm² - measurement of area
3. L - measurement of volume (1L = 1 dm³)
4. m - measurement of length

HELP! I don't understand so please give a detailed explanation.
likoan [24]

From the picture, we can see that ΔLSP and ΔLRN are similar, so corresponding sides are proportionate:


LN : LP = 28:12 = 7:3


Therefore, the LRN sides is 7/3 of the corresponding side of LSP.


Then, it states that the area of LSP = 50, and area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, so we set up the equation


Area of LSP = (1/2)bh = 50 ← Remember how the corresponding sides are 7/3 of LSP? Therefore, the area of LRN:


LRN = (1/2)(7b/3)(7h/3) ← Take out the 7/3 and multiply them together

= (49/9)(1/2)bh ← From LSP, we know that (1/2)bh = 50, so plug that in

= (49/9)*50 ≈ 272.222 units ²

How do you convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction ?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A mixed number is equal to sum a integer plus a fraction less than 1. The result is a fraction where the numerator will be always greater than the denominator (This fraction is called an improper fraction)

Example

a\frac{b}{c} ----> a mixed number

a is a integer

b/c < 1

so

a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}

Adds the integer plus the fraction

\frac{ac+b}{c} ---> an improper fraction

\frac{ac+b}{c} > 1
