There were 60 girls because you do cross multiplication (5 x 48 is 240 4 x 60 is 240)
We will have to use proportions:
Cross multiplying we get
Now divide:
Solve to tenths place we get
The woman casts a 36.6 ft long shadow.
Answer:
2:4
Step-by-step explanation:
What we first want is to find two factors of 288
We can divide by two, to get 2 and 144
We can divide by four, to get 4 and 72
To make a negative after multiplying numbers, we need at least one number to have a negative before it
- x - = +
+ x - = -
+ x + = +
Using the above information we can put together the following equations
-288 =
-72 x 4
-4 x 72
-2 x 144
-144 x 2
There are more answers to this question, just find factors of 288 and make sure one of them is a negative.
