1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches
</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches
</span><span>by
the ratio and proportion
∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow
∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69
∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches
1/4 ounce of yeast ... 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
x ounce of yeast = ? ... 2 teaspoons of yeast
If you would like to know how many ounces of yeast need to be in the recipe, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1/4 * 2 = x * 2 1/4
1/2 = x * 9/4 /*4/9
x = 1/2 * 4/9
x = 2/9
Result: 2/9 ounce of yeast needs to be in this recipe.
The answer is x=
-3
Hope I helped!
