You put it in a ratio so it's 24/30 = x/4 so the answer is 3.2 feet

If a 24 foot tall tree cast a 30 foot long shadow, then the ratio of that is 4:5.
So, for the 4 foot tall child, multiply by 4/5 (0.8) and you get 3.2.

The Greenpoint factory produced two-fifths of the Consolidated Brick Company’s bricks in 1991. If the Greenpoint factory produce

ohaa [14]

Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.

Simplify completely quantity 4 x squared minus 32 x plus 48 all over quantity 3 x squared minus 17 x minus 6. (1 point)

Galina-37 [17]

Given rational expression is:

$\frac{(4x^2-32x+48)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}$

Now we can simplify this by factoring as shown below:

$=\frac{4(x^2-8x+12)}{(3x^2-17x-6)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x^2-18x+1x-6)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{3x\left(x-6\right)+1\left(x-6\right)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)\left(x-6\right)}{(3x+1)\left(x-6\right)}$

$=\frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}$

Hence final answer is $\frac{4(x-2)}{(3x+1)}$

2(3x+8)=6x+16<br> how many solutions does this equation have

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

infinite

but solving for it we can get

3x + 8 = 3x + 8 (divided both sides by 2)

3x = 3x (subtracted 8)

x = x

1 = 1

therefore, for all values of x, the equation will be true so there are

infinite solutions
