Given that 3x-y : x+2y = 2 : 5, Determine the ratio x:y

N76 [4]

Answer:

x : y = 9 : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

3x - y : x + 2y = 2 : 5

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

$\frac{3x-y}{x+2y}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(3x - y) = 2(x + 2y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

15x - 5y = 2x + 4y ( subtract 2x from both sides )

13x - 5y = 4y ( add 5y to both sides )

13x = 9y ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = $\frac{9}{13}$ y ( divide both sides by y )

$\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{9}{13}$ , that is

x : y = 9 : 13

A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall i

alex41 [277]

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

$\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}$

$\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}$

$h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}$

$h'=3$ ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft
