If the boy is 3 feet tall and his shadow is 7 feet long, that is a dilation (increases in size) so you would divide 3 by 7 to get your rate of dilation. 3/7 is about 0.428. So if you want to know how tall the man is who casts a 14 feet long shadow is, you’d have to multiply 14 by .428 which you give you 5.992 which is about 6 feet tall.

Hope this helps

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The probability you see a dolphin or a whale on both days is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the brochure claims an 80% chance of siting a dolphin or a whale.

The provided claims can be written as: 80% or 0.80

Let say first day you see a dolphin or a whale and same happen on the next day.

Thus, the probability is:

0.80 × 0.80 = 0.64

Probability of see them on both days is 0.64

Hence, the probability you see a dolphin or a whale on both days is 0.64

Fofino [41]
<span>Using the information we have 3x+4=40 Do the same to each side of the equation to eliminate for x. 3x+4=40 Minus 4 from each side 3x=40-4 3x=36 Divide 3 from each side x=36/3 x=12 AC=3x+4 insert the value of x 3(12)+4=40 AC=40 AD=20</span>

Sum of 7 7/8 + 2 11/12
dlinn [17]
Solutions 

1) <span>Add the whole numbers first ( 7 and 2 )

</span><span>9+<span>7/8</span>+<span>11/12

2) </span></span>Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 

<span><span>7 / 8</span>,<span>11 / 12
</span></span>
Start by Listing Multiples

List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.

8 : <span><span>8,16,24</span>
</span>
12 : <span>12,24
</span>
Therefore, the LCD is <span>24 

</span>Method 2: By Prime Factors

List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.

8 : <span>2,2,2
</span>
12 : <span>2,2,3
</span>
Therefore, the LCD is <span>2×2×2×3=24

3) </span>Make the denominators the same as the LCD

<span>9+<span><span>7×3 / </span><span>8×3</span></span>+<span><span>11×2 / </span><span>12×2

</span></span></span>4) Simplify. Denominators are now the same

<span>9+<span>21 / 24</span>+<span>22 / 24

5) J</span></span>oin the denominators

<span>9+<span><span>21+22 / </span>24</span></span>
6) Simplify

<span>9+<span>43 / 24

7) </span></span>Convert 43 / 24 <span>to mixed fraction

</span><span>9+1 <span>19 / 24

8) </span></span>Simplify

<span><span>10 <span>19 / 24</span></span></span>
