Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ignore the "at the instant the man is 30 feet away" part, set it as X and the man's shadow as Y.
Similar triangles so we can do 
.
Solve for it we get 44y = 6x
Differentiate relative to time t, we get 44y' = 6x'.
change in x (x') is equal to 5. And we get the answer y' = 
.
the ft/sec is the rate of which the length of the shadow is changing. add 5 to it for the rate of the tip of his shadow moving away from the tower.

Answer:
- 12 boxes
- 10 pencils, 9 notebooks
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The number of boxes will be the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numbers 120 and 108. That number is 12.
120 = 12×10
108 = 12×9 . . . . 12 is the greatest common divisor
Matthew can make 12 boxes with equal numbers of the items.
__
b) 120 pencils divided by 12 will be 10 pencils per box.
108 notebooks divided by 12 will be 9 notebooks per box.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It helps to be familiar with multiplication tables up to about 12×12.
The GCD can always be found using Euclid's algorithm. Look at the remainder when the larger number is divided by the smaller. If it is not zero, then replace the larger number with the remainder and repeat. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCD.
Here, we have ...
120/108 = 1 r 12.
108/12 = 9 r 0 ⇒ 12 is the GCD
