This is the concept of linear scale factor:
The length of the farmer shadow will be calculated as follows:
(height of farmer)/(length of farmer shadow)=(height of the silo)/(length of silo shadow)
let the length of farmer shadow be x
height of farmer=72 inches= 6 ft
length of silo shadow=31.5 ft
height of silo=140 ft
therefore plugging the above in the equation we get:
6/x=140/31.5
solving for x we get
x/6=31.5/140
x=31.5/140×6
x=1.35 ft
The length of the farmer shadow is 1.35 ft

Seventy-five balls numbered from 1 to 75 are placed in an urn. One ball is randomly drawn from the urn. What is the probability
kramer
75-31= 44
44/75= 0.58666 or 58.7%

Subtract 31 from 75 since we're figuring out greater than or "equal to" we want to include the number 32 in our equation. If it was only "greater than" 32 then we'd subtract 32 from 75. Then you divide that number(44) by 75, which is all the possible outcomes you could have in this scenario. Move the decimal two places to the right to make it a percentage and you've got your answer.

Are the two ratios that make up a proportion<br> always, sometimes, or never equivalent
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, when we say that two ratios form a proportion, we mean that the two ratios are equal.

Ex: Ratios and Proportions - Proportions - In Depth. A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."

A proportion is two ratios which have been set equal to each other; a proportion is an equation that can be solved. When I say that a proportion is two ratios that are equal to each other, I mean this in the sense of two fractions being equal to each other. For instance, 105 equals 21 .

Write an algebraic expression for each word phrase.

Answer:

63/h - 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means divide.

So the answer to the division is a quotient. 63/h is the quotient of the division.

Less means subtract so the subtraction that is taking place is

63/h - 3.14 and that's your answer.

Often with these questions, you start backwards as in this question.
