(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

Hiros family lives 448 kilometers from the beach.Each of the 5 adults drove the family van an equal distance to get to and from
Drupady [299]

Answer:

179.2km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from their house to the beach is 448km. Now they have to drive to and from the beach. The total distance traveled by the family is 448km + 448km.

This is equal to 896km. Now we have 5 adults who took their turns to drive and they drove the same distance. The total distance traveled by each adult will be 896/5 = 179.2km

Hence, each adult in the family drove a distance of 179.2km
