Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18  Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x        Divide by 2
72/2 = x       
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.

vfiekz [6]

Answer

39 bills of 1$

16 bills of 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

x-nr of $1

y-nr of $10

x*1+y*10=199

x+y=55 , x=55-y

so  I use the substitution method

(55-y)*1+10y=199

55+10y-y=199

-55            -55

9y=144

y=144/9

y=16

so x=55-16

     x=39

verify 16*10+39*1=160+39=199

Over [174]

Answer:

4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A charges $40 per week and a one time fee of $25

Company B charges $35 per week and a one time fee of $45

Therefore the number of weeks required for both companies to arrive at the same cost can be calculated as follows

Company A = 45 + 35×4

= 45 + 140

= 185

Company B = 25 + 40×4

= 25 + 160

= 185

Hence it will cost both companies 4 weeks
