First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.
Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet
The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).
Answer: The first step would be to multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 2 so you can eliminate x.

A) 24 ribbons
B)1/28yards
11.u have 1/2 how?
Y= 10x
y: number of cm
x: number of mm
Moving up would add to the Y value. Moving to the left subtracts from the X value.
The answer would be: (X,Y) — (x-3, y + 5)
