Since it as at the same time and place.

Let x be the length of the shadow of the 40-ft pole.

The ratio from 30 and 8 would have to be the same as 40 and x.

30:8  =  40:x

30/8 = 40/x    Cross multiply

30x = 40*8

x = 40*8 / 30 = 32/3 = 10.67

Length of shadow for 40ft  is 10.67 ft.

vlada-n [284]
We know that 80% of the stamps are US and Mexican. 
The US stamps are 3 times the Mexican stamps. That means that of the 80%, Mexicans comprised of the 20% and US comprised of the 60% to satisfy the relationship of their ratios. 

Therefore, 60% of Michelle's collection is made up of US stamps.
