Answer:

b. 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a direct proportion relationship between the length of the object/person and the shadow cast by it.

Let the length of the object/person be L an that of the shadow be B

L ∝ B

L = KB

where K is the constant of proportionality.

Where L = 1.75 m, B = 2.25 m

1.75 = 2.25B

B = 175/225 = 7/9

Therefore, L = (7/9)B

If at the same time, a statue casts a shadow 9 m long, then B = 9 m

L = (7/9) × 9

L = 7 m

The height of the statue is 7 m.

1.75 divided by 2.25 = 0.77777777...
0.77777777.. times by 9 = 7

What is the main advantage of using money instead of bartering? A. Many more people today use money than bartering to get goods
alekssr [168]

D. people do not have to have a good or service that another person wants

Reason: Money gives people a universal unit of value. For example, If I needed a toothbrush and I have a pair of scissors, In order for me to get a tooth brush is to trade my scissors with someone else who has a tooth brush and wants scissors. As you can see, this isn't practical. If I had money, I will only need to find someone who has a tooth brush.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6} p - \frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

collect like terms

- \frac{2}{3} p + \frac{5}{6} p + \frac{1}{5} - 1

= - \frac{2(2)}{2(3)} p + \frac{5}{6} p + \frac{1}{5} - \frac{5}{5}

= - \frac{4}{6} p + \frac{5}{6} p - \frac{4}{5}

= \frac{1}{6} p - \frac{4}{5}
