Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
9.1/3575
use long division like this
_<u>0.</u>_________
3575|91.000000
we find how many of 3575 fit into the 91
it's too big so we go farther
how many 3575 go into 910
too big so we go farther
how many 3575 go into 9100
the answer is 2 so put that in the correct place and mulitply that and put that in the correct place. then we subtract
_<u>0.</u><u>02</u>_________
3575|91.000000
-<u>71.50</u>
19.50
bring down the next number
find how many go into 19.500
the answe ris 5
_<u>0.</u><u>02</u><u>5</u>_________
3575|91.000000
-<u>71.50</u>
19.500
-<u>17.875</u>
1.625
bring down he next zero ( I fast forward and skip steps for convinience)

60% of 270,000 is 162,000. 70% of 315,000 is 220,500. There is 58,500 more at the second election than the first.
Answer:
she would have 6 egg cartons to sell and 3 eggs left over (:
Step-by-step explanation:
75 divided by 12 equals 6.25
12 times 6 equals 72
75 minus 72 equals 3
egg cartons- 6
left over eggs-3
Hope this helps (:
8/9 is equal to in decimal form <span>0.88888889. You do long division. After all number finished add a decimal and add a 0 and bring that down and keep going until you can't divide anymore.</span>
