Answer:

20-foot flag

Step-by-step explanation:

12-foot flag casts 4.8-foot shadow,

which also means that:

4.8-foot shadow is casted by a 12-foot flag

Lets start by find the length of the flag that will cast a 1-foot shadow.

4.8-foot shadow -----> 12-foot flag

1-foot shadow -----> 12 ÷ 4.8 = 2.5-foot flag

Now we can find the flag that will cast a 8-foot shadow.

1-foot shadow -----> 2.5-foot flag

8-foot shadow -----> 8 x 2.5-foot = 20-foot flag

The sign of the product of –35 and –625 is

Anarel [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical sign for the operation is subtraction.

To Solve This You Will Need To;

1] The sign of the product of -35 and -625 is;

It's going to be;

-35--625

The negative sign will turn into addition sign before you can operate it. So it's going to be;

-35+625=590(positive)

It's just like subtracting 35 from 625.

2] The sign of the product of 263 and 0 is;

263-0

With this no quantity is going to be subtracted so the 263 will remain the same. 

So 263-0=263(positive)

3] The sign of the product of -21 and 451 is;

-21-451

With this you won't subtract but rather you'll add and when you add the answer is going to be -472

-472(negative)

4] The sign of the product of -350 and 89 is;

-350-89

With this you will add it but you won't subtract the negatives so it's going to be;

-350-89=-439(negative)

Hope I am Correct I didn't really understand your question well. But Good Luck:)
