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).
There are 8 yellow and 24 blue. Our ratio from yellow to blue is 8:24.
To simplify this, we need to see if we can divide 8 and 24 by a common factor.
8 and 24 can be divided by 8, so let's do that.
8/8 = 1.
24/8 = 3.
Your new and simplified ratio is 1:3 from yellow to blue, but we're looking for blue to yellow. Flip the ratio.
3:1 is your ratio.
C.) is your correct answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
see attached for a graph
x = 0.5 when y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph has a y-intercept of -1, which is halfway between 0 and -2. It goes up 4 units (2 vertical grid spaces) for 1 unit to the right (1 horizontal grid space). It seems to cross y = 1 at about x = 1/2.
x = 1/2 when y = 1.
