Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
height of post ÷ length of shadow = 2/10 = ⅕
height of tower is ⅕ the length of its shadow.
⅕×125 = 25
The tower is 25 feet tall
Answer:
g = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
−4g+8−5+ 2g
−4g+ 2g +8-5
-2g + 8 -5
-2g +3
2g = 3
g = 3/2
g = 1 1/2
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
