Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Given the statement: A 36-foot-tall tree casts a 9-foot shadow.

To find the height of the nearby tree that cast a 14 foot shadow at the same time.

Let x be the height of the nearby tree.

By definition of proportion;

\frac{\text{Height of thetall tree}}{\text{Shadow of the tall tree}} =\frac{\text{Height of the nearby tree}}{\text{Shadow of the nearby tree}}

Substitute the given values we get;

\frac{36}{9}=\frac{x}{14}

Simplify:

4 = \frac{x}{14}

Multiply both sides by 14 we get;

x= 4 \times 14 = 56 foot.

therefore, the height of the nearby tree is, 56 foot.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

1.18b

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob had lunch at a restaurant and his bill was b.

Now, Jacob leaves 18% of his bill amount as a tip.

So, the tip amount at the rate of 18% of the bill amount will be \frac{18 \times b}{100} =0.18 \times b

Therefore, the total cost of Jacob for the lunch will be b + 0.18b = 1.18b. (Answer)
