Use the proportion x/15 = 3/5 (height of object/length of shadow) and cross multiply. 5x = 45. divide both sides by three and x=9.

1/5 = x/15 solve for x
15 * 1/5 = 15/5 = 3
it is 3 yards tall

(I changed the 3 feet to 1 yard to keep the units the same)

1. A baseball player got a hit 19 times in his last 64 times at bat.
fiasKO [112]

A) Probability =0.297

B)In 200 times he can hit 59 times !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A baseball player got a hit 19 times in his last 64 times at bat. We need to find the following :

a. What is the experimental probability that the player gets a hit in an at bat?

According to question ,

Favorable outcomes = 19

Total outcomes = 64

Probability = (Favorable outcomes)/(Total outcomes) i.e.

⇒ Probability = \frac{19}{64}

⇒ Probability =0.297

b. If the player comes up to bat 200 times in a season, about how many hits is he likely to get?​

According to question , In 64 times he hit 19 times . In 1 time there's probability to hit 0.297 times! So ,In 200 times he can hit :

⇒ Hit =0.297(200)

⇒ Hit = 59.36

Therefore , In 200 times he can hit 59 times !

The answer is 13.5*3600=48600/1000cause you already have your meters per second. 13.5m/a and there are 3600 seconds in an hour then you divide that by the meters 1000 and you get **48.6**
