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

925 students brought their lunch.

Explanation

First let's rewrite the equation.

You know that "of" means multiply and "is" means equal.

Okay, so let's break it down.

The question says, "At your school, 74% of students brought their lunch at the cafeteria. There are 1250 students in the school."

This means that 74% of 1250 students brought their lunch at the cafeteria.

You are trying to find how many students brought their lunch. This will be x.

So the equation would be this.

74% × 1250 = x

74% is 0.74.

0.74 × 1250 = x

0.74 × 1250 = 925

So 925 students brought their lunch.
