Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 3-foot stick makes a 2-foot shadow that means the shadow is 2/3 the height. If the tree makes a 24-foot shadow, the equation to find the height is 24/(2/3).

x = 24/(2/3)

x = 24/.66666

x = 36

50× 3/8 how to reduce answer to lowest te

hoa [83]

The lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$ .

Solution:

Given expression is $50\times\frac{3}{8}$

<u>To reduce this term to the lowest term:</u>

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{50}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator.

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{150}{8}$

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.

So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.

$$=\frac{150\div2}{8\div2}$

$$=\frac{75}{4}$

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{75}{4}$

Hence the lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$ .
