Think of it like a triangle.
The flagpole is vertical and is at 90° to the ground. This makes a right-angle to the ground, which is flat.
Since we have two sides of the triangle already, and they are in a ratio of ?? : 16 : 20 = ?? : 4 : 5, that means that because the triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third and last side must be 3 to complete the ratio! (This is called 'Pythagoras')
Since the other sides were divided by 4 to get the simple ratio, we must multiply 3 to get the actual ratio! 3 × 4 = 12 ft tall flagpole.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to find the sum of
<em><u>Let us first convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>
Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator.
Then write the result on top of the denominator
Therefore,
Now we can add both the fractions
Make the denominators same
Now convert the fraction to mixed number
When we divide 53 by 10 , the remainder is 3
Therefore, write 5 as a whole number and and 3 as numerator and 10 as denominator
Thus the sum of given mixed fraction is
