Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: If 5 elves can make 5 dolls in 5 minutes then an elf can make 5 dolls in twice the time it would take 5 elves to do it which is 25 minutes.

This means it takes an elf 25/5 = 5 minutes to make one doll

One elf can make 100 dolls in 100 x 5 = 500 minutes

Then it will take 100 elves 500/100 = 5 minutes to make 100 dolls.

NOTE: This method of solving is known as the unitary method. Be careful to note that it won't take 100 elves a hundred minutes to make 100 dolls because it's a concerted effort (each of the 100 elves is making 1 doll in the same time duration (5 minutes))

5 elves*5 minutes=5 dolls
1 elf *5 minutes=1 doll

so it takes 5 minutes for an elf to make doll

100 elves*100 minutes/5=100*20=2000 dolls in 100 minutes by 100 elves

At your school, the building is 20 feet tall, a tree's height is 252 inches, and the flagpole is 6 yards high. Which of the thre
timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).
