The drawing shows the rock height to be 64 ft.

The shadow lengths are proportional to the object heights, so we have
   (rock height)/(209.5 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(18 ft)
   (rock height) = (209.5 ft)*(5.5/18) ≈ 64.01 ft

The height of the rock from the ground is about 64 ft.

Equivalent fractions for 9/11, 15/17, and 2/3 using the least common denominator.
TiliK225 [7]
The (small) challenge here is to determine what the LCD is.  Since 11, 17 and 3 are all prime, we find the LCD by multiplying them together:  561.

Then 9/11= 459/561; 15/17 = 495/561; and 2/3 = 375/561.

Bad White [126]

The maximum number of hours that can be allocated in a day is 21

Data given;

  • Sale = $3500
  • Employee pay = $10.00 per hour
  • Percentage allocated to employee = 6% of sales

<h3>Percentage</h3>

This is the process of finding a fraction of a value multiplied by 100.

Let's find the actual figure allocated to employee pay.

6% of $3500 is;

6/100 = x/ 3500\\x = 0.06*3500\\x = 210

The percentage out of sale allocated for employee pay is $210

Now we know the actual amount allocated to employee pay and it is $210.

Divide the amount allocated to employee pay by $10:00 to find the actual hours we can allocate in a day.

y = 210/10 = 21

The maximum number of hours we can allocate in a day is 21 hours.
