1 ft = 12 inches
6 ft = 72 inches (multiply both sides by 6)
6 ft + 2 inches = 72+2 = 74 inches
6 ft, 2 inches = 74 inches
--------------------
1 ft = 12 inches
2 ft = 24 inches
2 ft + 1 in = 24+1 = 25 inches
2 ft, 1 in = 25 inches
--------------------
1 ft = 12 inches
3 ft = 36 inches
3 ft + 7 in = 36+7 = 43 inches
3 ft, 7 in = 43 inches
--------------------
To rewrite the problem a bit in equivalent form, we have a man who is 74 inches cast a shadow that is 25 inches long. The tree has a shadow of 43 inches. We want to find the height of the tree, which for now we'll call x
(tree height)/(tree shadow) = (person height)/(person shadow)
x/43 = 74/25
25x = 43*74
25x = 3182
x = 3182/25
x = 127.28 inches
The tree is 127.28 inches tall which is the same as 10 ft, 7.28 inches
because 127/12 = 10 remainder 7, then we add on the 0.28 portion
2 4/10 = 2.4

The value of x when y = -14 is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation is a relationship between two variables that can
be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a
constant times the other
If y varies directly with x, then
- y ∝ x
- y = k x, is the equation of variation where k is the constant of variation
∵ y varies directly with x
∴ y ∝ x
∴ y = k x
To find k substitute x and y by their initial values
∵ y = 16 and x = -8
- Substitute y by 16 and x by -8 in the equation above
∴ 16 = k(-8)
- Divide both sides by -8
∴ -2 = k
∴ The value of k is -2
- Substitute the value of k in the equation above
∴ y = -2 x ⇒ equation of variation
∵ y = -14
- To find x substitute y by -14 in the equation of variation
∵ -14 = -2 x
- Divide both sides by -2
∴ 7 = x
∴ The value of x is 7
The value of x when y = -14 is 7
