Answer:

Height of the building that cast a shadow of 45 meters is 27 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a direct variation and let height of the object represent H and shadow represent S

Hence H∝S

H = KS, where K=constant of proportionality

K = H/S

K = 6/10 = 0.6

Hence height of a building that cast a shadow of 45 meters

H = KS

H = 0.6 × 45 = 27 meters

mrs jones gave 1/5 of a cake to her neighbour. she then sliced the remainder into 3 pieces for her 3 children, ken, ron and davi
Arturiano [62]

The fraction of the cake that was ron's pieces is 1/5.

<h3>What is the fraction of the cake was ron's pieces?</h3>

Ratio demonstrates how many times one number can fit into another number. Ratios contrast two numbers by ordinarily dividing them. A/B will be the formula if one is comparing one data point (A) to another data point (B).

Since Mrs Jones gave 1/5 of a cake to her neighbour, the remaining fraction will be:

= 1 - 1/5

= 4/5

The fraction of the cake that was ron's pieces will be:

= 2/(1+3+4) × 4/5

= 2/8 × 4/5

= 8/40

= 1/5

Mr North spent $144,00 to build a fence around the perimeter of bis vegetable garden.He paid $6.oo per yard for fencing.
NikAS [45]
First, you could see the amount of fence he could buy, or 144/6, which would be 24, so Mr. North can buy 24 yards of fencing.
So now to find the possible plans, we know that there are four sides, but the width and the length occur twice since it's a rectangle.
So since we know that, we can just split 24 in half to find the possibilities for one of the width sides and one of the length sides, if that makes any sense. 24/2 = 12.
So now, you could say some possibilities are length = 6 and width = 6, or length = 4 and width = 8.
And now, to consider which plan would be the best, it would probably be a 6x6 design, because it gives the biggest area to the vegetable garden, and is easy to move around.
width = 6
length = 6
area = 36 square yards (6×6)
perimeter = 24 yards (6+6+6+6)
