Most of the information's required for solving the question is already given in the question.
Height of the building that casts a shadow of 20 m = 32 m
Then
Height of the man that casts a shadow of 1.2 m = (32/20) * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.2 * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.84 meter
So the actual height of the person casting a shadow of 1.2 meter is 3.84 meters. I hope that the procedure used for solving the problem is easy enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this method in future for solving problems of similar type without requiring any additional help from outside.

Answer:

Width: \frac{3in}{8ft} = \frac{5in}{x} (cross multiply)

   = 40 ÷3 ≈ 13.3ft

Width: \frac {3in}{8ft} = \frac{6.5in}{x}

   = 17.3

A=e × w

   = 13.3 × 17.3 ≈ 230.09 ≈ 230.1

The tank at a gas station contained 400 gallons of gas. A tanker truck that contained 8,100 gallons of gas filled the station's
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount put in the station's tank = x

4(400 + x) = 8100 - x                           Remove the brackets

1600 + 4x = 8100 - x                            Subtract 1600 from both sides

1600 - 1600 + 4x = 8100 - 1600 - x     Do the subtraction

4x = 6500 - x                                        Add x to both sides

4x + x = 6500 - x + x        

5x = 6500                                            Divide by 5

5x/5 = 6500/5                                      

x = 1300

1300 gallons were added to the station's tank.

<u>Half</u> of 4.50 is 2.25, so for <u>one</u> pound it would be <u>$2.25</u>.

To calculate five pounds, you need to add 2.25+2.25+2.25+2.25+2.25 = <u>11.25</u>.

For <u>five</u> pounds of strawberry's, it would cost <u>$11.25</u>.

Hope this helped !
