Answer: 4.8 ft

To answer this question you need to know how much shadow: actual height ratio. Flagpole is having 8 ft shadow with 20 ft actual height. The ratio should be= 8 ft: 20 ft= 0.4

Then multiply the ratio with the oak tree shadow. The equation would be:
0.4 x 12 ft= 4.8 ft

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

3 7/12 kg

He doesn't have enough plant to feed strawberry 2 more times and tomato 1 more time

Step-by-step explanation:

On sunday , sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. He uses 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plants. b. Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time. He will use the same amounts of plant food as before. How much plant food will be need? Does he have enough left to do so.

Total plant bought = 4 1/2 kg

Strawberry = 1 2/3 kg

Tomato = 1/4 kg

Strawberry + tomato

= 1 2/3 + 1/4

= 5/3 + 1/4

= 20+3/12

= 23/12 kg

Total remaining after Sunday

= Total - used

= 4 1/2 - 23/12

= 9/2 - 23/12

= 54-23/12

= 31/12

= 2 7/12 kg

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time.

Strawberry = 2 × 1 2/3

= 2 × 5/3

= 10/3 kg

Tomato = 1 × 1/4

= 1/4 kg

Total plant needed to feed strawberry two more times and tomato 1 more time

= 10/3 kg + 1/4 kg

= 40+3/12

= 43/12 kg

= 3 7/12 kg

He will need 3 7/12 kg of plant

He doesn't have enough plant to feed strawberry 2 more times and tomato 1 more time

Can someone find the points/coordinates of this graph?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The x represents the value of the point on the x axis or the horizontal line, and the y represents the vertical line. Now, lets solve for the first point. We can first see that it only moves to the left by two from zero, which is basically -2. So, right now we have (-2,y). We then look for the y in which we see that it is down -6 from zero, so it will be (-2,-6). Time to look for the second point. We should get (2,-3). Now, with these two points, it is time to find the slope intercept form.
