Answer:

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  Put the height of the object over the shadow.  Change the height of the object to inches

Alonzo

5 ft 11 inches = 5 ft *12 inches/ft + 11 inches = 60 inches + 11 inches = 71 inches

2 ft shadow = 2* 12 inches/ ft = 24 inches

Basketball goal

4 ft 4 inches =  4 ft *12 inches/ft + 4 inches = 48inches + 4 inches = 52 inches

Alonzo             Basketball      

71 inches         x inches tall

------------   = --------------------

24 inches     52 inches

Using cross products

71*52 = 24*x

Divide each side by 24

71*52/24 = 24x/24

923/6 =x

Lets change this to a mixed number

6 goes into 923  153 times   with 5 left over

153  5/6 inches

Now we need to change inches to feet

How many time does 12 go into 153  12 times  (12*12 =144  with 9 left over)

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Round 1.0649 to the nearest thousandth
ira [324]
1.0649 to the nearest thousandths is 1.065

You could get this by finding where the thousandths place is, which is the third number.
Now, look at the number to the right. 
If it's 5 or higher, round up. 
If it's 4 or lower, round down.

Since it is 9, we round up.
The 4 turns into a 5.

So, 1.065

Hope I helped!

A conditional statement is written in the if-then form. The hypothesis is the first or "if" part while the conclusion is the "then" or then part. Thus, the conditional statement would be
