Answer: the length of the second piece is 1 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary had a link of yarn 4 1/3 inches. Converting 4 1/3 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 13/3 inches.

She cut it into two pieces for her art project. One of the pieces was 2 1/2 inches long. Converting 2 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 5/2 inches.

Therefore, the length of the second piece would be

13/3 - 5/2 = (26 - 15)/6 = 11/6 inches.

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

1 5/6 inches

mezya [45]

Answer:

169 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the image below.

Line AB represents the monument and line BC its shadow

Line DB represents the man and Line BE it shadow.

The Sun’s rays are parallel, so AC||DE.

Then ∆ABC ~ ∆DBE

AB:BC::DB:BE

x/65.8 = 1.8/0.7     Multiply both sides by 65.8

       x = 65.6 × 1.8/0.7  

       x = 65.6 × 2.571

       x = 169 m

The height of the Washington monument is 169 m.
