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.

I need help on answering this question.​
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The value of m is 3 because (5^4)^3 = 244140625 and 5^12 = 244140625 also, this means they are both equal to each other. Another way of getting the correct answer is just seeing what times 4 will get you 12, as you can see

3 x 4 = 12.

So yea the answer is M = 3.

What would be the equation to you have a part time job. You work for 3h on Friday and 6h on Saturday. You also recieve an allowa
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to go about your question, we must first ask, how many hours a week is being worked?

In this problem, that is 9 hours per week.

Next, we must question how much per week is made

That is $92 per week

Finally, we must determine if the allowance is occuring many times in the week or just once.

In this problem, that is only occuring once for the week.

So, the equation we must setup is 9x +20 =92.

To solve the equation, we need to subtract 20 on both sides to isolate the variable, x.

9x+20=92

     -20     -20

Now our equation is

9x=72

Now, to finally get x by itself or to isolate x, you should divide 9 on both sides to cancel out the 9 being multiplied by the x.

<u>9x</u>=<u>72</u>

9     9

x=8 because of 72/9 is equal to 8.

I hope this helps, and I will answer any questions you have.
