Answer:

The answer to your question is 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person's height = 5 ft

Person's shadow = 10 ft

Tree's height = ?

Tree's shadow = 110 ft

- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow

- Substitution

5 / 10 = x / 110

-Solve for x

x = 5 (110) / 10

-Simplification

x = 550 / 10

-Result

x = 55 ft

-Conclusion

The tree is 55 ft height

6x+1 = -8x-13 pleasee

DiKsa [7]

Answer: $x=-1$

Add 8x to both sides

$6x+1+8x=-8x-13+8x\\14x+1=-13$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$14x+1-1=−13-1\\14x=-14$

Divide both sides by 14

$14x/14=-14/14\\x=-1$

a bottle of juice holds 3/8 gallon when it is full. if 1/3 of the juice has been poured out, how much juice is left in the bottl

taurus [48]

Let's get the denominators of both fractions to be the same before moving on, aka finding the least common multiple of the denominators.

8 and 3 have a LCM of 24. So, we have to multiply 1/3 by 8 and 3/8 by 3.

1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24

3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24

There is only 1/24 of juice left in the bottle if the remaining amount of juice has 1/3 poured out.

Hope that helped.
