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.
You can see that an odd number of steps is simply multiplying the number of steps by a number that moves up one each time. For instance, 1*1, 3*2, 5*3, etc. It's a bit harder with the even numbers. Their pattern is multiplying half the number of steps by 1.5, but the ones place value moves up a number each time, for example, 2*1.5, 4*2.5, 6*3.5. This means that 10 steps is 10 * 5.5, or 55 blocks and that 100 is 5,050 steps.
Answer:
A: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
difference is +12
4 + 12= 16
I think that the answer would be B beacuse both of them are negitive
