Answer:

32 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a 6 ft man casts a shadow 9 ft long, the shadow is 3/2 of the actual object/person.

SINCE THE TREE'S SHADOW IS AT THE SAME TIME, THE HEIGHT IS THE SAME RULE.

We know the tree's shadow is 48 ft.

--> 48/3 = 16

16 x 2 = 32

32 ft tall

Hope this helps!

Decrease 248 by 30%
Snowcat [4.5K]
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.

So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.

All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4

So subtract 74.4 and get
