The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of woman = 5 foot

Shadow of woman = 6 feet

Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6

Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot

Height of flagpole = x

Ratio of height to shadow = x:15

Using proportion;

Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow

5:6::x:15\\

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*x=15*5\\6x=75

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{75}{6}\\x=12.5

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0    0 = 12 x0
1    2 = 12 x1
2    4 = 12 x2
3    6 = 12 x3
4    8 = 12 x4
6    0 = 12 x5
7    2 = 12 x6
8    4 = 12 x7
9    6 = 12 x8
10  8 = 12 x9
12  0 = 12 x10
13  2 = 12 x 11
14  4 = 12 x 12

Under her cell phone plan, Lily pays a flat cost of $55.50 per month and $4 per
TEA [102]

Answer:

Equation : y = 4x + 55.50

x = 1.9 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Flat fee per month = $55.50

Cost per gigabyte = $4

Let,

x be the number of gigabytes.

y be the total cost

y = 4x + 55.50

Lily wants to keep her bill $63.10

63.10 = 4x + 55.50

63.10 - 55.50 = 4x

4x = 7.60

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{7.60}{4}\\x=1.9

Hence,

Equation : y = 4x + 55.50

x = 1.9 gigabytes
