See below, please!
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply a whole number by a fraction, set up both numbers so that they have a numerator and denominator, multiply the corresponding parts, and simplify.
Ex: . Both of them are in fraction form, right? Now multiply the numerator and denominator together. Doing this, you get 16/6. Now simplify. Look for a common factor between both the numerator and denominator. We can see that one common factor is 2. So, our simplified fraction is 8/3.

I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:
Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
Plug in what we know:
