Answer:

  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 8/12 = 2/3 as tall as the shadow is long. We expect the same relationship holds for the tree.

  tree height = (2/3)(shadow length) = (2/3)(60 ft) = 40 ft

The tree is 40 feet tall.

In a triathlon , Jenny swam for 1 hour , biked for 1.75 hours , and ran for 1 hour. Her average biking speed was 2 times her ave
Naddika [18.5K]

Jenny average swimming speed was 2.5 km/h, her average biking speed was 24 km/h and her average running speed was 12 km/h.

<h3>Speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the average swimming speed, b the average biking speed and c the average running speed.

Her average biking speed was 2 times her average running speed, hence:

  • b = 2c  (1)

Her average running speed was 8 times her average swimming speed. Hence:

  • c = 8a   (2)

Total distance of the triathlon was 55.5 kilometers. Hence:

a * 1 hour + b * 1.75 hour + c * 1 hour = 55.5   (3)

From equation 1, 2 and 3:

a = 2.5, b = 24, c = 12

Jenny average swimming speed was 2.5 km/h, her average biking speed was 24 km/h and her average running speed was 12 km/h.
