This is just a basic proportion. 5/8 = x/12. So the 5 foot tall women would have a 7.5 foot shadow.

Length of a rectangular prism volume is 2,830.5, width 18.5, height 9

jek_recluse [69]

Well, you get the volume by multiplying the height, the width, and the length. So just work on it backwards.
2,830.5 divided by (9 times 18.5).
9 times 18.5 is 166.5. So that leaves us with 2,830.5 divided by 166.5, which is 17.
So, the answer is 17.

Sheila is going to divide a 38-inch piece of ribbon into 5 equal pieces. She says each piece

DENIUS [597]

Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
