Answer:

  726 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Object height and shadow length are proportional, so you have ...

  (object height)/(shadow length) = (18 ft)/(72 ft) = (dam height)/(2904 ft)

Then the dam height is ...

  dam height = (2904 ft)(18/72) = 726 ft

Hoover Dam is 726 feet high.

In 1905 the Colorado River flooded parts of Nevada. It ruined crops, roads, and buildings. Water covered the land for an entire year. To stop the flooding, the construction of the Hoover Dam began. The dam controlled the river and brought water to the cities. It was completed in 1935. It took 5,000 workers and 5 years to build. Hoover Dam is 1,244 feet long and 726 feet high.

A boy has 380 prize tickets he wants to exchange for action figures at a prize booth. At
loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Hi there,

If the boy wants 80 small action figures

that is equivalent to 40 x 7 (as 7 tickets

gives him 2 small action figures)

= 280 tickets.

The 380 tickets he has originally minus the

280 leaves 100 tickets to get 20 large action figures

(100/5)

He will have 80 small and 20 large action figures

80:20 = 4:1

Hope this helps:-)
