780, or C, is correct. Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:
9.75 = 1/80x
Then multiply each side by 80:
780 = x
The actual building's height is 780 ft.
We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:
9.75 = 1/80(780)
9.75 = 9.75

Answer:
450 portugals
Step-by-step explanation:
in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer
Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.
Thus;
p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)
Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;
That would be;
3 * r = p
3r = p. •••••••••(ii)
substitute ii into i
3r + r = 600
4r = 600
r = 600/4
r = 150
P = 3r
p = 3 * 150 = 450
3/4 ÷ 1/5
= 3/4 × 5/1
= 15/4
