Ratio and proportion

height:shadow=1.5:2

for the building, shadow=24

1.5:2=h:24
1.5/2=h/24
multiply both sides by 24
36/2=h
18=h
the building is 18 meters

Vladimir [108]
In July:
First week:
Number of people went to the local swimming pool =1040
Second week:

Number of people went to the local swimming pool =1040-110
=930
Third week:
130 more people went to the pool than in the second week
so,
Number of people went to the local swimming pool =930+130
=1060
Fourth week:
228 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week
