You are correct!
Step 1:Write what you know
Madeline's Height: 6 ftMadeline's Shadow: 108 in
Friend's Height: X (we use X as a variable because his height is unknown)Friend's Shadow: 108 in - 1.5 ft 108 in - 18 in 90 in
Step 2:Set up proportions
6 x----- = -----108 90
Step 3:Cross Multiply & Solve
108x = 540x = 5 ft tall
Answer:
Sandwich = 6.75
Soft drink = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
9.00/4 = 2.25
2.25*3=6.75
Answer:
C = $2.40
n = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
For Noelle,
Equation that represents the monthly cost 'C',
C = 0.2n + 1.20
Here, n = number of checks written in a month
For Micah,
Monthly cost for writing checks 'C' = $1.20
Number of checks 'n' = 3
Since, Cost of writing checks ∝ Number of checks written
C' ∝ n
C' = kn
k = 
Here, k = proportionality constant
For C' = 1.2 and n = 3
k = 
k = 0.4
Equation will be,
C' = 0.4n
For any month C = C'
Therefore, 0.2n + 1.20 = 0.4n
0.4n - 0.2n = 1.20
0.2n = 1.20
n = 6
Number of checks written by Noelle and Micah = 6
For n = 6,
C = 0.2(6) + 1.20
C = $2.40
Cost of writing checks = $2.40

Answer:
(a)
(b)5,832 Mosquitoes
(c)5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)Given an original amount
at t=0. The population of the colony with a growth rate
, where k is a constant is given as:

(b)If
and the population after 1 day, N(1)=1800
Then, from our model:
N(1)=1800

Therefore, our model is:

In 3 days time

The population of mosquitoes in 3 days time will be approximately 5832.
(c)If the population N(t)=20,000,we want to determine how many days it takes to attain that value.
From our model

In approximately 5 days, the population of mosquitoes will be 20,000.
