Answer:

4.5 m is the height of statue

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Kris is 1.5 meters tall and casts a shadow 4 meters long. At the same time, a statue casts a shadow 12 meters long.

We have the object, the shadow length and the line connecting the top of object to the tip of shadow forms a right triangle.

This triangle will be similar from one object to other.

For similar triangles ratios of sides will be equal

Using this we say that

\frac{1.5}{4} =\frac{x}{12}

Cross multiply to solve

4x=12(1.5)\\x=4.5 m

Here, Ratio of Height to Shadow = 1.5 / 4
Let, the height of Statue = x

It is = 1.5 / 4 = x / 12
x = 12/4 * 1.5
x = 3 * 1.5
x = 4.5

In short, Your Answer would be 4.5 meters

Hope this helps!

24 written as a percentage
Yanka [14]
Any number is equal to that number over 1

So x is equal to x/1

Same thing with 24. 24 = 24/1

To get it into percent we multiply by 100 so:

\sf{\frac{24}{1}=\frac{24\times100}{1\times100}}

And simplifying that we get

\sf{\frac{2400}{100}}

And x/100 = x%

so 2400/100 = 2400% 

So your answer is <em><u>2400%</u></em> :)

Weiming, Joyce and Siti divide cookies to sell in a ratio of 5: 12: 9. After Weiming sold 28 cookies, the ratio becomes 1: 8: 6.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

216 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.

Their ratio = 5:12:9

Total  = 5+12+9 = 26.

Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26

If weiming sold 28 cookies

⇒ (5x/26)-28

⇒ (5x-728)/28

Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies

The new ratio is 1:8:6

The total cookies becomes = x-28

Therefore,

(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28

(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28

Crossmultiply

28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)

28x-784 = 75x-10920

Collect like terms

28x-75x = -10920+784

-47x = -10136

x = -10136/-47

x = 215.7

x ≈ 216 cookies
