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

Liam wants to buy a car. He has $100. The car that he wants costs $120,000. His parents is willing to give him $1,300. How long
mario62 [17]
Suspecting that his parents are going to give him $1,300 continually you would solve like this

$120,000-$100= $19,900
$19,900/$1,300= 92.23
92.23 is the amount of $1,300 donations it would take from his parents, so if he was getting $1,300 month it would take 92.23 months

Given the equation 8x=4Y +16 ,generate a plan to rewrite it in slope-intercept form WHICH VARIABLE DO YOU SOLVE FOR?
andriy [413]

Answer:

you switch 8x and 4y by subtracting 8x to 4y + 16 and substracting 4y to 8x.

This gives you the equation -4y = -8x+16

Then you divide each side by -4

To give you your slope-intercept form which is y = 2x-4.
