1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches

</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches

</span><span>by the ratio and proportion

∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow

∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69

∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches

Nata [24]
How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7

And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9

Where, a is the total area of the room.

So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'

So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr

You need a 35% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 715 mL of a 20% alcohol mixture. You also have 90% alcohol mixture. How muc
asambeis [7]

Answer:

90% Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of 90 + 90% of x = 75% of (90 + x)

5×90/100 + 90x/100 = 75×90/100 + 75x/100

Or 90x/100 - 75x/100 = 75×90/100 - 5×90/100

Or 15x/100 = 90×70/100

Or X = 420ml

You Will Need ML Of The 90% Solution To Obtain ML Of The Desired 75% Solution.
