Candace wants to find the height of a local lighthouse. Since she knows something about similar triangles, she decides to stand

in a location where the tip of her shadow and the tip of the lighthouse’s shadow meet (point C). She knows that she is 1.5 meters tall. Before moving into the shade of the lighthouse, she measured her shadow and found that it was 2.5 meters. The last measurement she took was the length of the lighthouse’s shadow. She found that it was 36 meters. What is the height of the lighthouse?

In short, let x be the height of the Light House
2.5/36 = 1.5/X

===> X= (36 x 1.5)/2.5 = 21.6 meters

Iliana was part of a group that was working on changing 0.4 repeated to a fraction. Each member of the group had a different ans
amm1812
\bf 0.444444444\overline{4}\impliedby \textit{and keeps on going}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's say }\boxed{x=0.444444444\overline{4}}\quad \textit{ thus }10\cdot x=4.44444444\overline{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a minute! }4.44444444\overline{4}\textit{ is really just }4+0.444444444\overline{4}

\bf \textit{but we know }x=0.444444444\overline{4} \textit{ so then }4+0.444444444\overline{4}=\boxed{4+x}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a second! }10\cdot x\implies 10x=4.444444444\overline{4}=4+x
\\\\\\
thus\qquad 10x=4+x\implies 10x-x=4\implies 9x=4\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{4}{9}}

you can check in your calculator.

anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.
