The woman's shadow length is 2 times her height, so her distance from the light is 2 times the difference in height between her and the light bulb.

2×(6 m - 1.5 m) = 9 m

Answer:

One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number. Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.

I am doing with Question Number 2

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.

According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.

x \times y=14

So, xy=14 (Equation 1)

Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.

So, x = 3\frac{1}{2}\times y

x=\frac{7}{2}y (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

\frac{7}{2}y \times y = 14

\frac{7}{2}y^{2} = 14

y^{2} = 4

So, y= 2 and -2

So, x=\frac{14}{2} and x=\frac{14}{-2}

x=7 and -7

Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.

Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9

Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.
