Given :

A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.

To Find :

The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .

Solution :

We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .

Let , length of shadow of pole is x .

So ,

\dfrac{79.9}{136}=\dfrac{x}{40}\\\\x=\dfrac{79.9\times 40}{136}\ foot\\\\x=23.5\ foot

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49. He pays with a $20 bill. Which is the best estimate of change he sho
Anika [276]

The change is the remaining money that is needed to take from the seller so a change of Umberto will be $6.62.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

To subtract in mathematics is to take something away from a group or a number of objects.

The group's total number of items decreases or becomes lower when we subtract from it.

Given that,

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49.

Total money of buying = 7.89 + 5.49 = $13.38

Now he gives a $20 bill.

Remaining (change) = 20 - 13.38

⇒ $6.62

Hence "The change of Umberto will be $6.62".
