Answer: 9/40

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So here, 22.5% can be written as the ratio 22.5 to 100 or 22.5/100.

Notice however that 22.5/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of 22.5 by 10 in order to remove the decimal point. When we do this, we will end up with the fraction 225/1000.

The fraction 225/1000 can be written in lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25 and we get the fraction 9/40.

Therefore, 22.5% can be written as the fraction 9/40.

Si un rectángulo con perímetro de 74 pulgadas tiene un largo de 5 pies más que el ancho,

baherus [9]

Perímetro del rectángulo = 74 pulgadas

Deje que el ancho del rectángulo sea 'x'.

Entonces, la longitud de este rectángulo = x + 5

We know that :

$\color{hotpink}\tt \: Perímetro \: del \: rectángulo =\color{plum} 2 × (l + b)$

Lo que significa :

$=\tt 2(x + x + 5) = 74$

$=\tt 2(2x + 5) = 74$

$=\tt 4x +10 = 74$

$=\tt 4x = 74 - 10$

$=\tt 4x = 64$

$=\tt x = \frac{64}{4}$

$\color{plum} =\tt x = 16$

Por lo tanto, el ancho de este rectángulo = 16 pulgadas

Entonces, la longitud de este rectángulo :

$=\tt x + 5$

$= \tt16 + 5$

$\color{plum} =\tt 21 \: pulgadas$

La longitud de este rectángulo = 21 pulgadas

<h2>Por lo tanto :</h2>

● Longitud del rectángulo = <em>21 pulgadas</em>

● Ancho del rectángulo = <em>16 pulgadas</em>

Suppose you are standing such that a 32-foot tree is directly between you and the sun. If you are standing 140 feet away from th

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Height = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how tall I can be we take the difference between the shadow cast by the 32-feet tree and the distance away from the tree

But the tree is 32 feet tall but on shadow it's 160

So lemme determine how long I'll be in my shadow first

Distance away from tree= 140 feet

Length of shadow cast by tree

= 160 feet

Length of shadow= 160-140

Length if shadow= 20 feet

My height= x

X/20= 32/160

X= 20*32/260

X = 4 feet

Height = 4 feet
