Answer:

25.7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the actual length of tree.

We have been given that in sunlight, a vertical stick 7 ft tall casts a shadow 3 ft long. We are asked to find the actual length of tree casting a 11 ft long shadow.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{x}{11}=\frac{7}{3}

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 11, we will get:

\frac{x}{11}*11=\frac{7}{3}*11

x=\frac{77}{3}

x=25.6666666\approx 25.7

Therefore, the tree is 25.7 feet tall.

Change this whole number into a improper Fraction
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: Ratios

Step-by-step explanation:

Zalika can work out this estimate by using the ratio of carp to pike that she first caught. This is how to use the ratios:

1) 120 carp : 16 pike --> from given information

2) 136 fish : 16 pike --> add the numbers together to get total fish compared to pike

3) Multiply by 250 --> 34000 divided by 136 is 250

4) 34000 fish : 4000 pike --> 16x250=4000

The table of values shows the number of touchdown passes that a quarterback threw in each of his first five football games of th
kvv77 [185]
If x is the game number, and y is the amount of touchdown passes for that specific game number, then (5,3) represents the idea that the quarter back threw y = 3 touchdown passes for game number x = 5

So the answer is choice D. This is the only ordered pair that comes from the given table. Something like (2,4) isn't true because the quarterback threw 1 touchdown pass (not 4) in game two.
