The equation you can use to solve the problem is;
50/30 = 300/x
Next Cross Multiply
50x = 9000
x = 9000/50
x = 180
The building's shadow is 180 feet tall
<span>Dr. Graham currently has two acid solutions.
60% acid AND 20% acid </span>
Dr. Graham needs 30 L of a 50% acid solution
We set up 2 equations in which s = 60% acid and t = 20% acid
A) s + t = 30
B) .60s + .20t = (.50 * 30)
We multiply equation A by -.20
A) = -.20s -.20t = -6 then we add it to B)
B) .60s + .20t = 15
.40s = 9
s = 22.5
t = 7.5
So, she needs to mix 22.5 liters of 60% acid with 7.5 liters of 20% acid.

Divide 250 from 250 and 1000 to get 1/4.
