Answer:

22.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a  telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length

5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5

where x is the length of the pole

5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5

15/13 = x/25.5

cross multiply

15 * x = 13 * 25.5

Divide both sides by 15

x = 13 * 25.5 / 15

x = 22.1 inches

The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long

There are approximately 3.2
gladu [14]
So, using the number 3,200,000 deaths per year, you want to divide it until it reaches deaths per minute.
3,200,000 divided by 365 (for days)
8767.123 divided by 24 (for hours)
365.297 divided by 60 (for minutes)
and so you get 
6.088 deaths per minute

Hope this helped.
