Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
Answer:
d) 5/3 x
Step-by-step explanation:
You substitute a for 2c and b for 5d, so your equation will look like this:
c/d - 2c/5d = x
Then you just simplify into x by making c/d into 5c/5d so you have a common denominator.
5c/5d - 2c/5d = x
3c/5d = x
5/3 is your answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 6y = 8 ⇔ - 6y = -4x + 8 ⇔ y = 4/6x - 8/6 ⇔ y = 2/3x - 4/3
