Answer:

<h3>x = 6 ft. long shadow</h3><h3></h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

its a ratio and proportion:

<u>  15 ft. tall giraffe     </u>   =  <u>   5 ft. tall bird    </u>

    18 ft. shadow                 x shadow

15 (x) = 18 (5)

x = 90 / 15

x = 6 ft. long shadow

Not sure if this is very clear
Patty = 45.8%
Bun = 20.8%
Cheese = 8.3%
Sauce = 12.5%
Pickles = 4.2%
Veggies = 8.3%

EXPLANATION :

The equation to find a percentage is part(the broken down calories) over whole ( the total calories) is equal to % which we replace with x (since we’re trying to find the %) over 100 because all percents are out of 100. So for simple terms, p/w = %/100.
What I did was put 550/1200 = x/100, cross multiply, leaving you with 1200x=55000, then divide 55000/1200, giving you 45.8.
