Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)
set them to equal each other:
4/6 = 15/x
cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90
so you have 4x = 90
now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:
x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall
0.3 as a fraction is 3/10 so the three fractions are
3/10 cucumbers
1/10 peppers
6/10 strawberries
So the fraction of cucumbers or peppers are 4/10
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a number (let's call it x) and it was multiplied by 8 and added by 2. Therefore:

And we are told that the sum is equal to the product of 2 and 25 (or 50). Thus:

To find the number, we just need to find x. Thus, subtract 2 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 8:

And we're done!
So, our original number was 6.
Answer:
Your answer would be 2
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - 6(x+1) =12
15- 6*x +6*1 = 12
15 - 6x + 6 = 12
15 - 6 + 6x = 12
9 + 6x = 12
9 - 9 + 6x = 12 - 9
6x = 3
x = 2
