Answer:

27.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.

34 : 30

Find the unit rate:

The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.

Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

34 : 30

/30  /30

1.13 : 1

Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.

Multiply:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

1.13 : 1

x24  x24

27.2 : 24

Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.

Divide a 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

En Colima se lleva acabo la conferencia sobre la energética eólica a la cual asistieron 120 representantes de Latinoamérica y Su
andriy [413]
The first thing we must do for this case is to see how many representatives from each country attended.
 We have then:
 Argentines = (1/6) * (120) = 20
 Chileans = (1/5) * (120) = 24
 Bolivians = (1/4) * (120) = 30
 Venezuelans = (1/4) * (120) = 30
 Adding we have:
 20 + 24 + 30 + 30 = 104
 Therefore the number of Americans is:
 120-104 = 16
 Answer:
 16 Americans attended the wind energy conference

Since insulin u-100 is 100 units/mL,which of the following shortcuts can be used to convert a dose of u-100 insulin given in uni
N76 [4]

Answer:

The shortcuts is

     Divide number of units by 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  insulin u-100 is  L  =  100 \ unit /mL

 From the data given above we see that

           100 units of  insulin u-100 is contained in  1 mL

So         1 unit of  u-100 is contained in  x mL

=>       x =  \frac{1}{100} \  mL

This means that a unit of  insulin u-100 occupies  x =  \frac{1}{100} \  mL

So we can represent a single unit of insulin u-100 as  \frac{1}{100} \  mL

  Now if 1 unit of insulin u-100 is represented  as    \frac{1}{100} \  mL

Then y unites of   insulin u-100  is represented as  z

So

         z = \frac{y}{100}  \  mL

From the above calculation we can see that the shortcuts to convert  u-100 insulin given in units, to mL is to  divide  number of units by 100
