We will have to use proportions:
\frac{42.9}{253.1}  =  \frac{6.2}{x}
Cross multiplying we get
42.9x = 6.2 \times 253.1
Now divide:
x =  \frac{6.2 \times 253.1}{42.9}
Solve to tenths place we get
x = 36.6
The woman casts a 36.6 ft long shadow.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Basic wage rate = $9.375 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Fortnight wage = $750

Basic week, hours worked per week = 40 hours

Weekly basic wage rate :

Fortnight = 2 weeks

Hence, weekly wage = fortnight wage / 2 = 750 /2 = $375

Weekly basic wage rate = $375 / Number of hours worked per week = $375 / 40 = $9.375 per hour
