Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree  = 48 foot

\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

IceJOKER [234]
The roll of the biscuit is 101/2 inches long. It has to be cut into slices that are 3/8 inches thick.
Then
The number of slices = (101/2)/(3/8)
                                   = (101/2) * (8/3)
                                   = 808/6
                                   = 404/3
                                   = 134.66
So the biscuit dough can be cut into 134 slices approximately. A small part will be left. This is the only way to find out the number of slices the biscuit dough can be sliced into. Hope this helps you in understanding the way it is done.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A reporter collects a random sample of 50 runners from all the runners who finished the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in 2009 and constructs a 99% confidence interval for the true mean finish time to be (86.05, 99.38) minutes.

Assuming the reporter performed the calculations correctly, which of the following statements are appropriate interpretations of this confidence interval?

We can expect that 99% of confidence intervals created using the same method the reporter used will contain the true mean run time for runners of this race.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

<h2>Option A</h2>
