Answer:

3.2ft long shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are given a ratio between the tree/shadow and woman/shadow therefore we are given 3 values and 1 unknown then we can use the Rule of Three to calculate the length of the shadow which we will refer to as x. The Rule of Three simply multiplies the diagonal values and divides by the third value in order to get the missing unknown like so...

55ft tall  <======>  32ft long shadow

5.5ft tall   <======>  x ft long shadow

(5.5 * 32) / 55 =  3.2ft long shadow

Finally, we can see that the woman's shadow would be a 3.2ft long shadow

sladkih [1.3K]
For this equation first you should add +11 on both sides and the add -4/7w so you will have: 
3/7w- 4/7w = 11 ⇒ -1/7w = 11 ⇒ w = 11* -7 = -77 so the answer is:
w = -77 :)))

Part A.

Ashwin had a 4-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (4 cm)^3 = 64 cm^3

Ashwin has 64 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part A. Only prisms with at most 64 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 2 * 4 * 7 = 28

B. v = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120

C. v = 5 * 5 * 4 = 100

D. v = 4 * 7 * 5 = 140

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part A. answer: A, E

Part B.

Dora had a 5-cm cube.

volume of cube = side^3

volume = (5 cm)^3 = 125 cm^3

Dora has 125 small cubes.

We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part B. Only prisms with at most 125 cm^3 volume can be the answer.

A. v = 3 * 3 * 8 = 72

B. v = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60

C. v = 6 * 6 * 4 = 144

D. v = 5 * 8 * 4 = 160

E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60

Part B. answer: A, B, E
