Dixon is 6 feet tall, Ariadne is 4 feet tall by proportion.
What in mathematics is a proportion?
- A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.
- For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls) There are 1 in 4 boys and 3 in 4 girls. 0.25 are male (by dividing 1 by 4)
We can use the proportion.
We already know that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9 ft long.
Also we know that the shadow of his sister is 6 ft long.
6 : x = 9 : 6, or 6 / x = 9 / 6.
After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6,
9 x = 36 ,
x = 36 /9,
x = 4.
Ariadne is 4 feet tall.

The complete question is -
Dixon and his little sister Ariadne stand next to each other on the playground on a sunny afternoon. Their mother measures their shadows. Dixon's shadow is 9 feet long and Ariadne's shadow is 6 feet long. If Dixon is 6 feet tall, how tall is Ariadne?

Thank you ☺️☺️
4.0987 rounded to the nearest tenth.
4.0987
^ This is the tenths place
Look at the number after it, if it's 5 or more, round up, if it's 4 or less, round down.
<span>It's 9, so we round up to 4.1</span>
The problem presents 2 variables and 2 conditions to follow to determine the approach in solving the problem. The variables are 52 cards, and 9 cards. The 2 conditions presented would be the teacher giving out one card to each student at a time to each student until all of them are gone. The second variable is more likely made as a clue and the important variable that gives away the approach to be used. The approach to be used is division. This is to ensure that there will be students receiving the 9 cards. Thus, we do it as this: 52 / 9 = ?
The answer would be 5.77778 (wherein 7 after the decimal point is infinite and 8 would just be the rounded of number). This would ensure us that there will be 5 students that can receive 9 cards but there will be 7 cards remaining which goes to the last student, which is supposed to be 8 since she gives one card to each student at a time to each student. So the correct answer would be just 4 students. The fifth student will only receive 8 cards and the last student would have 8, too.
