The ratio between the tree and shadow is 12:9, which can be simplified to 4:3. as we now have a shadow of a building, we can use to ratio and scale it up to find how tall the building is.

4:3
?:24
how many times does 3 go into 24? it goes 8 times, so we multiple the 4 by 8 to get 32

KonstantinChe [14]
Since one knot is 1.15 mph.
We multiply 35 time 1.15, which equals 40.25 mph.
Then we subtract. 175 - 4.25 = 134.75
Round, and you'll get 135mph
Therefore, your answer is 135mph

1. 5514 divided by 82 you have to find out how many times 82 goes into 551 (because it won't go into 5 or 55 now 82 goes into 551 6 times and you multiply 82 and 6 to get 492 (which is the closest you can get to 551 without going over) now you subtract 551-492 to get 59 now you carry down your 4 and add it to the end of the equation and your number changes into 594 now 82 times 7 is 574 when you subtract you get 20 now you add a decimal point and you carry down the 0 to make your number 200 now you do 82 times 2 to get 164 when you subtract you get 36 now you carry down the 0 and get 360 so you multiply 82 by 4 to get 328 so your answer is 67.24.Hope this helps. I can add a picture if you need one.
