2 goes into both numbers, so divide both by 2;
10 ÷ 2 = 5
42 ÷ 2 = 21
so 10/42 in simplest form is: 5/21
Answer:
No solution is possible
Step-by-step explanation:
You failed to include the graph.
You are given the height of the building and the length of the shadow the building gives, so you can set that up as a proportion of Height of building over the length of the shadow so 31/28.
Now you can set the same proportion for Julian, using X for her height, so you would have x/6.
To solve for her height, set the two proportions equal and solve for x:
31/28 = x/6
Cross multiply:
31 * 6 = 28 *x
186 = 28x
Divide both sides by 28:
x = 186 / 28
x = 6.64 feet tall
