Answer: 21 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the tree casts a 28​ feet shadow and that a 6​ feet fence post casts a 8​ feet ​shadow, then, you can write the following proportion to solve this problem:

\frac{x}{28}=\frac{6}{8}

2. When you solve for the height ot tree (x), you obtain the following result:

x=\frac{28*6}{8}\\x=21

3. Therefore, the height of the tree is 21 feet.

YAAS! I literally learned this just a few weeks ago. (I am not actually a high school senior) First, convert 7% to a decimal, which is 0.07. Then multiply 0.07 by 23,000, giving you 1,610. This is your unit rate. I will though, need you to be more specific on "compounding quarterly" because I actually do not know what that means.

yKpoI14uk [10]
For every 5 cashews, there are 6 peanuts and 7 almonds.

Means:    Cashews:Peanuts:Almonds = 5:6:7

Sum of ratio = 5 + 6 +7 = 18

Cashews =    (5/18) * 270 = 75


Peanuts =    (6/18) * 270 = 90


Almonds =    (7/18) * 270 = 105

So how many more what are there than peanuts?

The number of that nuts Minus the number of peanuts.

= Number of that nuts  -  90

Sauron [17]

Answer:

A) 4x+3y=14

B) 3x-2y=2

We multiply equation A) by (2/3)

A) (8/3) x +2y = 28/3 then we add this to equation B)

B) 3x-2y=2

5 (2/3) x = 11 (1/3)

x = 2

A) 4 * 2 + 3 y = 14

A) 3y = 6

y = 2
