Answer:Cross multiply and solve for x.
x/6 = 5/1.25
let the height of building be h ft
h/6 = 60/15
h = 6(60/15) = 24
the building is 24 ft high
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first let’s covert the ft to in- 5ft is 60 in and 6ft is 72 in. Then we want to set up 2 fractions based on height and shadow, so we have 60/15=x/72 (we put x because that’s what we’re trying to find). Then we do cross multiplication so now we have 15x=4320. We divide 15, so now we have 4320/15=288. So the building is 288 in tall or 24ft tall! Glad to help! :)
The distributive property is a(b + c) = ab + ac
Answer:
x = 1.9
Step-by-step explanation:
use SOH-CAH-TOA
90 words in 4 minutes is the same as 45 words in 2 minutes because you divide both sides by 2. 2 goes into 10, 5 times, so 45x5=225.
You can expect her to type 225 words in 10 minutes.
