Proportion:- 

 27       4.5
------ =  -------
  x          5

x = height of tree.

4.5 · x = 27 · 5
4.5 · x = 135

135 ÷ 4.5 = 30 

SO,

x = 30

The tree is 30 ft long.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Darius is correct if only the median score is considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Darius scores are; 96, 54,120, 87, 123

arrange the scores in increasing order;

54,87,96,120,123

mean = (54+87+96+120+123)/5 =480/5 =96

median =96

Barb's scores are  92,94,96,98,110

mean=(92,94,96,98,110)/5 =490/5=98

median score=96

⇒if the median score only is considered; then it is a tie because the score is 96 in both players.

Allisa [31]

Answer: 2 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

How many hours does the plane save?

The number of hours saved will then be:

= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3

Let the lowest common multiple be 24

= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24

= 2 11/24

The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24
