At a certain time of day, a 5.5 foot tall man has a 6 foot shadow. if a tree is 19.25 feet tall, what is the length of the shadow of the tree(x=shadow of the tree)

the equation for the problem is...
5.5/6=19.25/x
you then multiply the denominators on both sides...
5.5x=19.25*6
you then solve on one side...
5.5x=115.5
and then divide 5.5 on both sides to leave x alone...
x=21
the shadow of the tree is 21

To make lemonade, 2 cups of lemon juice are mixed with 7 cups of water.Describe and correct the error in proportion used to find
kumpel [21]
<span>x/9 = 8/36 </span>
<span>x = 9 * 8/36 [multiplying each side by 9] </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span> </span>
<span>x/90 = 4.4/12 </span>
<span>x = 90 * 4.4/12 [multiplying each side by 90] </span>
<span>x = 33 </span>

<span>Both proportions should be expressed as lemon juice to water, or water to lemon juice. Either way would give a correct answer: </span>
<span>2/7 = j/28 [lemon juice to water] </span>
<span>8 = j [multiplying each side by 28] </span>

<span>7/2 = 28/j [water to lemon juice] </span>
<span>7j = 56 [multiplying each side by 2j] </span>
<span>j = 8 [dividing each side by 7] </span>


<span>The length proportion is 24 in to 32 ft. </span>
<span>The actual house is 24 ft tall. </span>
<span>Let x represent the doll house height, in inches. Then </span>
<span>x/24 = 24/32 </span>
<span>x = 24 * 24/32 = 18 inches</span>
