Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to look at the relationship between the elephant and its shadow. The elephant is 9 ft tall and the shadow is 3 ft long, making the elephant 3 times larger than the shadow. Using this information, we can assume that the tree is 3 times larger than its shadow. To find the answer, divide 24 by 3, giving you a final answer of 8 feet long.

24 / 3 = 8

If you take 2 1/2 tablets of meds 3 times a day for 10 days, how many tablets in total have you taken?
Alisiya [41]
This is how I solved it.
2.5 multiplied by 3 is 7.5, which equals how many she takes a day.
Then I multiplied 7.5 by 10 = 75. I did that because the meds are taken for 10 days. 
Also if you added 7.5 ten times is also 75.

So my final answer is that 75 tablets have been taken in total.
