Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

Answer:
$5.00
Step-by-step explanation:
if you divide $3.00 by 12 you get $0.25 which is what your paying per ounce so all you would have to do once you get how much your paying per ounce is multiply your per ounce number ($0.25) by your total amount of ounces (20) and you then get your answer $5.00. Hope this makes sense!
Answer:
16/40
Step-by-step explanation:
The example probability is literally the probability determined FROM EXPERIMENTATION.
Since the "experiment" gave 16 successes out of 40 trials (16 heads + 24 tails), the E.P. is 16/40
