c. 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
if the 12 inch ruler casts a 6 inch shadow (shadow has half size) then a tree with 12 feet long shadow will have a height of 24 feet
Answer:
(2,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Add them together to get rid of the y.
-6x = -4 - y
-7x = -22 + y
=
-13x = -26
Then solve for x.
-13x/-13 = -26/-13
x = 2
Now plug in the x value into either equation and solve for y.
-7(2) = -22 + y
-14 = -22 + y
-14 + 22 = -22 + 22 + y
8 = y
So...
x = 2
y = 8
(2,8)
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:
3/900 = x/2100
In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.
The first step is to cross multiply like this:
3 * 2100 = 900 * x
Now you can simply the equation.
6300 = 900x
Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.
7 = x
So, your answer is 7 pounds.
