(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)
24/x = 8/5
24*5 = x*8
120 = 8x
8x = 120
8x/8 = 120/8
x = 15
The tree is 15 feet tall
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you meant fractions, to divide them, you must multiply the reciprocal of that fraction. You'll then have:
4/5x15/8
Reduce the numbers of the greatest common factor which is 5:
4x3/8
Reduce the numbers of the greatest common factor which is now 4:
3/2 is your answer
Answer:
a= 3/11
b = 2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
a(1) + b(4) = 1
a + 4b = 1
a(3) + b(1) = 1
3a + b = 1
b = 1-3a
a + 4(1-3a) = 1
a+ 4-12a = 1
-11a = -3
a = 3/11
b = 1-3(3/11)
b= 2/11
Answer:
r = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line:
The equation of a line has the following format:
In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Slope 3/4
This means that 
, and thus:
(6,3)
This means that when 
. We use this to find b. So
So
(-6, r)
r is y when 
. So
So r = -6.
