You are going to have to compare the height and shadow of Julia to the height and shadow of the flagpole.
Julia is 5 feet tall with a shadow of 7 feet.
The flagpole is "x" feet tall with a shadow of 35 feet (to get 35, I added 28 feet and 7 feet.)
So, you do 5/7 = x/35
You cross multiply and get 175 = 7x
Then, divide by 7 and you get 25.
25 feet is the height of the flagpole, so it would be option "D".

You roll two 6-sided dice.
kupik [55]
Probability that you will role an even number on the first roll: 3 even / 6 total = 3/6 chance = 1/2 chance

probability that you role a number greater than 4 on the second: only numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6, so you have 2 numbers / 6 total = 2/6 chance = 1/3 chance

because it says AND, you have to multiply the first role probability by the second role probability

so 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6

answer: 1/6
