Shadow problems are usually solved with a proportion.
.. oak/(oak's shadow) = joey/(joey's shadow)
.. oak/(12 ft) = (6 ft)/(5 ft)
.. oak = (12 ft)*(6/5) = 14.4 ft . . . . . . . matches selection B

Catherine 168 pieces of gum playing at a bean bag toss in the county fair at school she gave three to every student in her math
Drupady [299]

Givens

Let the number of students in the class be x

Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x

Equation

3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.

3(x - 1) + 8 = 168      This doesn't work either.

Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.

3x + 8 = 168     Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = 168 - 8      Combine

3x = 160           Divide by 3 on both sides.

x = 160 / 3

x = 53.333333333

Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.

3x

Create a proportion from each set of numbers. Only use 4 numbers from each set.
enot [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

Approach: If four numbers a, b, c and d are in proportion then a:b = c:d. The solution is to sort the four numbers and pair up the first 2 together and the last 2 together and check their ratios this is because, in order for them to be in proportion, the product of means has to be equal to the product of extremes.
