The building is 300/50 = 6 times as high as the flagpole, so we expect its shadow to be 6 times as long: 6×30 ft = 180 ft.

Answer with explanation:

Length of Flagpole =50 foot

Height of Building =300 feet

Length of shadow of Flagpole =30 feet

Let shadow of building = x feet

The shadow of building as well as Flagpole are taken at the same time .So they are proportional to each other.

\frac{\text{Height of Building}}{\text{Length of Flagpole}}=\frac{\text{Height of Shadow of Building}}{\text{Length of Shadow of Flagpole}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{300}{50}=\frac{x}{30}\\\\\rightarrow x=30 \times 6\\\\\rightarrow x=180

So, Building's Shadow =180 feet

How many quart are 8/1/4 gallons
Westkost [7]

Given:

Consider the given gallons are 8\dfrac{1}{4} gallons.

To find:

The number of quarts in 8\dfrac{1}{4} gallons.

Solution:

We know that,

1 gallons = 4 quarts

Using this conversion, we get

8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ gallons}=4\times 8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ quarts}

8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ gallons}=4\times \dfrac{32+1}{4}\text{ quarts}

8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ gallons}=4\times \dfrac{33}{4}\text{ quarts}

8\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ gallons}=33\text{ quarts}

Therefore, there are 33 quarts in 8\dfrac{1}{4} gallons.

The price has changed from 125$ to 75$. By how much percent did it change
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

-40 %

Step-by-step explanation:

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)

((75 - 125) / 125) * 100 = -40 %

The percentage change from 125 to 75 is -40 %

Simplify.
ValentinkaMS [17]


first, you would rearrange the equation so that like terms were next to each other.

7y - 5y - x2 + 2x2 +3x - 17x

then you would reduce the equation based on like terms

2y + x2 - 14x

then simply rearrange the equation to get the answer, which is <u>B</u>
