Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex has 10 money units. Annie has 5 money units. The ratio of amounts is ...
Alex : Annie = 10 : 5 = 2 : 1
Alex has 2 times as much money as Annie.
1 yard = 36 inches
The fraction (1 yard / 36 inches) has a numerator and denominator
that are equal. So the fraction is equal to ' 1 ', and we can multiply
(26 inches) by it without changing any value. That'll change the units
of the '26 inches' to 'yards', which is exactly what we need.
(26 inches) x (1 yard/36 inches) = (26/36) yard
That's 13/18 yard, or 0.7222... yard.

Answer:
Because we actually divide by 10 when a number is multiplied by 0.1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be a number.
When we multiply a number by 10:
(One '0' is increased in the number)
For example:

Considering a decimal number:

Multiplying a number with 0.1 (which is actually
) means dividing the number by 10.

Considering a decimal number:

<em>Therefore, When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.</em>
