Answer:

3 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is a standard division problem, so our equation is:

2 2/5 ÷ 3/4

but then we have to covert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

12/5 ÷ 3/4

do the cross thingy:

4/5 x 4/1 = 16/5 = 3 1/5

So Jason can cut 3 1/5 sections or 3 if you round

Answer:

x=11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

x+11/36 = 37/60

Cross multiply:

1332=60(x+11)

Distribute:

1332=60x+660

Subtract 660 from 1332

672=60x

Divide:

x=11.2

I'm not sure if this is the correct answer but I hope this helps! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong!

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish the two triangles are similar, that is, that they have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, at the same moment, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.
