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

Match the compound inequalities
kondor19780726 [428]

I one is 8x<24 and -8≤2x-4

Hence x <24/8 =3 and -4≤2x:  divide by positive 2 to get -2≤x

Hence solution is -2≤x<3

Therefore c is the correct matching for 1.

2) 5x-2>13 or -4x≥8  

i.e. 5x>15 or x≤8/(-4) = -2 (since dividing by negative inequality reverses)

Or x>3 or x ≤-2

Hence solution is two regions to the right of 3 excluding 3 and left of -2 including -2.

Graph b is the correct match.

3) -25≤9x+2<20

Subtract 2

-27≤9x<18: Now divide by positive 9

-3≤x<2

Hence graph is the region between -3 and 2 including only -3.

Graph a is correct matching for question 3.

The conversion rate for US Dollars to Costa Rican Colones is 1 USD = 518 Colones.
allsm [11]

The cost of 0.5 kg of bananas is 393.60 Colones as per the given conversion rates

Conversion rate of 1 USD to Costa Rican Colones = 518 Colones

The conversion rate of kg to pounds given in the question: 1 kg = 2.2025 lbs

Cost of one pound of bananas = $0.69

Bananas required to be purchased = 0.5kg

Converting 0.5kg bananas to pounds = 0.5*2.2025 = 1.10125 pounds

Cost of 1.10125 pound of bananas in dollars = 1.10125*0.69 = 0.7598

Cost of 1.1025 pounds of bananas in Colones = 0.7598*518 = 393.60 Colones

Hence, the cost is 393.60

Therefore, the cost of 0.5 kg bananas in Colones is 393.60 Colones
