Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Answer:
Apple = $0.6
Banana = $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B
For Joe,
5A + 4B = 6 (1)
For Dawn
3A + 6B = 6.3 (2)
To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5
15A + 12B = 18 (3)
15A + 30B = 31.5 (4)
subtracting equation (4) from (3)
15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5
-18B = -13.5
divide through by -18
-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18
B = 0.75
substitute 0.75 in equation (1)
5A + 4B = 6
5A + 4(0.75) = 6
5A + 3 = 6
subtract 3 from both sides
5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3
5A = 3
divide through by 5
5A/5 = 3/5
A = 0.6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation shown in the question can be seen graphed in the image attached below. As you can see with the graphed equation the variable x can be any real number except for -1. This is because a -1 would cause the denominator of the fraction to be equal to 0, and a fraction with a denominator as 0 is a null value and does not exist.
