Answer:

The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the shadow is expressed by taking its actual length by a factor that depends on the position of the sun which is constant for the man too. The expression is as follows;

Height of the shadow=actual height of the flagpole×factor

where;

length of the flagpole's shadow=22.5 feet

actual height of the flagpole=32 feet

factor=f

replacing;

22.5=32×f

32 f=22.5

f=22.5/32

f=0.703125

Using this factor in the expression below;

Length of man's shadow=actual height of man×factor

where;

length of man's shadow=m

actual height of man=8 feet

factor=0.703125

replacing;

length of man's shadow=8×0.703125=5.625 feet

Determine how much longer the flagpole's shadow is as follows;

flagpoles shadow-man's shadow=22.5-5.625=16.875 feet

The flagpole's shadow is 16.875 feet longer than the man's shadow

The answer to a,b and c
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

16/45; 4/45; 1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that 4/9 and 1/5 are used, make them common denominators. So 4/9 would turn into 20/45 and 1/5 would be 9/45. It results in 29/45, but that is the amount spent, so you would subtract 45-29/45, resulting in 16/45. For B, you know that she spent 3/4 of the savings, so you know that 1/4 is not being spent. So use 1/4 multiplied by 16/45 from part A to get 4/45. For C, you know that 4/45 is $100, so I multiplied 45x100 to get 4500 and then divided by 4 to get 4500/4.
