Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
The answer is 25%.
First: work out the difference between the two numbers you are comparing.
Decrease = Original Number - New Number
35-28=7
Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. % Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100
7÷
28=.25
.25*100=25

Answer:
- 35 5-lb weights
- 25 3-lb weights
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t and f represent the numbers of three- and five-pound weights. The problem statement tells us ...
f + t = 60
f - t = 10
Adding these two equations, we get ...
(f +t) +(f -t) = (60) +(10)
2f = 70 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
f = 35 . . . . . . divide by 2
She has 35 5-lb weights, and 25 3-lb weights.
