Answer:
C) 7 ft 4 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Shadows are assumed to be proportional to the height of the object casting them. Hence the brother's shadow will satisfy ...
shadow/(6 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(4.5 ft) = 11/9 . . . . . reduce the fraction
shadow = (6 ft) · (11/9) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 6 ft
shadow = 7 1/3 ft = 7 ft 4 in

It's easy you just need to multiply both numbers by 25
1) you have to use PEMDAS.
2) 0.2^4+2.1•0.5^3 **solve exponents first**
.0016+2.1•0.125
.0016+0.2625=.2641
2) your answer is .2641
800*2/5=320 novels
800-320=480 non fiction books
320*3/8=120 novels sold
120*7=$840
480*2/5=192 non fiction books sold
192*5=$960
$960+$840=$1800
The owner would make $1800
