Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the height of the tower be x.

Let us assume that the shadow of the tower be y.

(As the shadow is always varies upon height .)

Thus

x \propto y

x =ky

\frac{x}{y}= k

As given

She used a 1.2 meter model of the tower and measured its shadow at 2 P.M.

The length of the shadow was 0.9 meter.

Here x = 1.2 meter

y = 0.9 meter

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

As given the Eiffel Tower’s shadow is 240 meters.

Here x = Height of Eiffel tower

y = 240 meters.

and

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

Put in the equation

\frac{x}{y}= k

\frac{Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower}{240} = \frac{1.2}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{1.2\times 240}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{288}{0.9}

Simplify the above

Height of the Eiffel Tower = 320 meters .

Therefore the height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

The smallest multiple of 50​
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

One is the smallest multiple of 50. We can find this by finding all the multiples of 50. The multiples of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50.

We can see that one is the smallest multiple because it is less than 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50. So, that means the answer to the question is 1.

Hope this helps.

Question 7: Timani bought a video game console and some games for $350. The video game
lutik1710 [3]

None of these are right

y=$350 because that is her total.

m=$25 because each game cost that.

B=$200 because that's how much the console cost.

$350=$25x+$200
