We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.
We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.
Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:
Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.

Answer:
1.50 + 13.75 = 15.25
15.25 x 579.50 = 38
ok so basically you take the total and divide it by the total of one student!! :)
answer is: 38

you multiply 8 x 8
Answer:
3.5kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original weight of grapes in box be X and weight of grapes in basket be Y.
From the first sentence
X = 2Y (weight in box = 2 times weight in basket) --- (1)
If you add 2kg of grapes to basket, the weight of grapes in basket = Y + 2
From the second statement
Y + 2 = X + 0.5
Subtracting Y from the LHS gives 2 = X - Y + 0.5
Subtracting 0.5 from both sides gives 2-0.5 = X - Y or X - Y = 1.5 --- (2)
Substituting for X from the first equation in (2) we get
2Y - Y = 1.5 or Y = 1.5kg
But this is the original weight of the grapes in the basket. Since we have added 2 kg of grapes to the original weight, we get the weight of grapes in basket now as 1.5 + 2.0 = 3.5kg
