Use proportions to find the height of the building-
=
The x is the height of the building.
It is over 1 (the height of the other building) because both are heights.
Similar triangles are in proportion so the other fraction is in proportion to it.
Cross multiply(x times .2) (8 times 1). You will get this equation-
.2x=8
Solve for x by dividing-
x=40
Since this was done in meters, the answer is-
The building is 40 meters.
3 burritos and 4 tacos cost 11.33 3b + 4t = 11.33
<span>9 burritos and 5 tacos cost 23.56 9b + 5t = 23.56 </span>
<span>To solve: multiply top equation by 3. </span>
<span>3(3b + 4t = 11.33) becomes 9b + 12t = 33.99 </span>
<span>9b + 5t = 23.56 stays as is 9b + 5t = 23.56 </span>
<span>Now subtract the second equation from the first and you will get </span>
<span>7t = 10.43 which you can solve by dividing both sides by 7 to get t = 1.49 so a taco costs $1.49. </span>
<span>Now replace a t in either equation with 1.49 so 3b + 4t = 11.33 becomes 3b +4(1.49) = 11.33 or 3b + 5.96 = 11.33. Now subtract 5.96 from each side leaving 3b = 5.37 and finally divide both sides by 3 to get b = 1.79 so a burrito costs $1.79 </span>
<span>Problem Two: </span>
<span>3 brass and 10 steel costs $48 3b + 10s = 48 </span>
<span>7 brass and 4 steel costs $54 7b + 4s = 54 </span>
<span>To solve: multiply top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by 5 so the number of s's will be equal </span>
<span>2(3b + 10s = 48) becomes 6b + 20s = 96 </span>
<span>5(7b + 4s = 54) becomes 35 b + 20s = 270 </span>
<span>Now subtract the top equation from the bottom equation and you will get 29b = 174. Divide both sides by 29 to get b = 6. </span>
<span>Now replace the b of either original equations with the 6 (say the top equation) to get 3(6) + 10S = 48 or written another way, </span>
<span>10s + 18 = 48. Now subtract 18 from both sides to get 10s = 30 and then divide both sides by 10 to get s = 3. </span>
<span>b=6 and s=3 so each brass part is $6 and each steel part is $3.</span>
Two fractions that can equal 2/5 are:
4/10 and 8/20
The answer is: 2 times taller than the person
Explanation: 6/15=height of lamp/(15+15); 6/15=height of lamp/30; height of lamp=(30/15)6=2×6, 2 times taller.
(Lamp is 12 feet tall)
