Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is 20/30 = 2/3 the length of the object, so the 6-foot person's shadow will be 4 ft long. It will begin to emerge when the person is 4 feet from the tip of the building's shadow. That distance is ...

  20 ft - 4 ft = 16 ft

from the building.

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se
kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51

\frac{17}{4} y = 51

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft

rewona [7]
<span>First find 15% of 800 and subtract that from 800 ( 800-(.15*800)) which equals 680 and multiply the 680 by the 30 days of April. You will get 20400</span>

julia puts her stickers into arrays in an album. some of her stickers are animal stickers. there are a different number of stick
lina2011 [118]

The total number of stickers :

Page 1 : 28

Page 2 : 24

Page 3 : 72

Page 4 : 48

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

There are several properties in integer multiplication operations

  • 1. closed property

Multiplication between integers will produce integers too

  • 2. commutative property

a x b = b x a

  • 3. associative property

ax (bxc) = (axb) xc

  • 4. identity

ax1 = 1 x a = a

  • 5. distributive  property

* addition

ax (b + c) = axb + axc

* substraction

ax (b-c) = axb - axc

We can use facts to solve multiplication problems

for example :

6 x 7 = (5 x 7) + ( 1 x 7) = 42

we can break facts with 6 into  5s and 1s facts from multiplication above

julia puts her stickers into arrays in an album

From picture (attached) we can find the total number of stickers on each page with 1s,2s,3s and 5s facts

  • Page 1 : 4 x 7 = (2 x 7) + ( 2 x 7) = 14 + 14 = 28
  • Page 2 : 4 x 6 = (1 x 6) + (3 x 6) = 6 + 18 = 24
  • Page 3 : 8 x 9 = ( 3 x 9) + (5 x 9) = 27 + 45 = 72
  • Page 4 : 8 x 6 = (3 x 6) + (5 x 6) = 18 + 30 = 48
