Ratio of shadow to object's size = 2/7

Then, size of tree would be: 7/2 * 28 = 7 * 14 = 98 feet

So, your final answer is 98 feet

A long-distance athlete can run 1/2 kilometer in 3 minutes. How many kilometers can he run in an hour?
yarga [219]
He can run 10 km in an hour. 60 minutes divided by 3 is 20km. 20 would be the answer, but that's only if he runs 1km in 3 minutes. Since he runs .5km in 3 minutes, you need to divide the 20 by 2. Therefore, you have 10km in 1 hour

Can someone explain how to do this
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

im not really good at percentages but from what i know you first make it a fraction by adding all the numbers together to get 55(denominator). then for the numerator you take the section that they want(11). 11/55 is equal to 20/100(divide 100 by 55 and multiply the quotient by 11 to get 20). 20/100 is 20%. hope this kinda helps.

How to solve a one step equation of R+3= -6 1/2 <br> please show all the work
IgorC [24]
Solve for R:
R + 3 = -(1/2 + 6)
Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = (2×6)/2 + 1/2:
R + 3 = -(2×6)/2 + 1/2
2×6 = 12:
R + 3 = -(12/2 + 1/2)
12/2 + 1/2 = (12 + 1)/2:
R + 3 = -(12 + 1)/2
12 + 1 = 13:
R + 3 = -13/2
Subtract 3 from both sides:
R + (3 - 3) = -13/2 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
R = -13/2 - 3
Put -13/2 - 3 over the common denominator 2. -13/2 - 3 = (-13)/2 + (2 (-3))/2:
R = (-13)/2 - (3×2)/2
2 (-3) = -6:
R = (-6)/2 - 13/2
(-13)/2 - 6/2 = (-13 - 6)/2:
R = (-13 - 6)/2
-13 - 6 = -19:
Answer:  R = (-19)/2
