Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that on level ground, a vertical rod 12 feet tall casts a shadow 4 feet long, and at the same time a nearby vertical flagpole casts a shadow 12 feet long.

To find the length of flagpole, we will use proportions as:

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{\text{Shadow of flagpole}}=\frac{\text{Actual length of rod}}{\text{Shadow of rod}}

Substitute given values:

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{12\text{ ft}}=\frac{12\text{ ft}}{4\text{ ft}}

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{12\text{ ft}}\times 12\text{ ft}=\frac{12\text{ ft}}{4\text{ ft}}\times 12\text{ ft}

\text{Actual length of flagpole}=12\text{ ft}\times 3

\text{Actual length of flagpole}=36\text{ ft}

Therefore, the actual length of flagpole is 36 feet.

\frac{Actual}{Shadow} = \frac{Actual}{Shadow}
\frac{12}{4} = \frac{Actual₂}{12}
Actual = 36 feet

Find the number of all 20 digit integers in which no two consecutive digits are the same
Arturiano [62]
For the first digit of the required 20-digit number, we can have 9 choices for the number, those are the digits 1 to 9. In the second digit of the number, we will only have 8 choices. That is because, we don't want to write a number in the second digit that is similar to the first digit and the third digit.

Similarly, in the third digit's place, we will only have 8 choices because we do not want the digit to be similar to the second digit and the fourth digit. This will go on up until the 19th digit. In the 20th digit, we will also have 9 choices (from 0-9) but we do not want the digit to be similar to the 19th digit. 

From the explanation given above, we have the number of ways,

    n = 9 x 8^(19 - 1) x 9  = 1.459 x 10^18

<em>ANSWER: 1.459 x 10^18</em>

1) oranges cost 1.00. How much will 5 dozen oranges cost?
RoseWind [281]
1) In a dozen, there are 12. Since there are 5 dozen, you would multiply 12 by 5, which is 60.
So 5 dozen oranges would cost $60.
2) For this, I'm guessing you need a ratio. So, 2 : 5 for white: blue. When can put that down to 1 white. 1: 2.5. The question (I'm unsure of) is asking ?: 8.5. 8.5÷ 2.5 = 3.4. So you'll multiply the white side as well, 1×3.4=3.4. So 3.4.
3) You need to find what one juice box would cost. So since there were 12 in the pack, you divide the cost by 12.
5.40÷12= .45
Now they are asking for an eighteen pack, so multiply what one would cost by 18.
.45×18= 8.1
It would cost $8.10.
