The concept that is useful in order to answer this item is the concept of ratio and proportion. Let x be the height of the rock from the ground. We use the equation below to answer.
                                    5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft / 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation is 64 ft. Thus, they will be needing approximately 64 ft of rope.

iragen [17]

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Park charge for one round = $19

Reduced fee for every additional round

Number of rounds played by Tom = 6

Amount paid = $34

Amount left after 1 round :

Amount paid - first round charge

$34 - $19 = $15

Number of rounds left = (6 - 1) = 5

Charge per additional round :

$15 / 5 = $3
