Answer: The tree is 27 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's what we know:

6/10 = x/45 (a 6 foot object creating a 10 shadow is equivalent to something else making a 45 shadow)

We need to isolate x. Multiply both sides by 45:

6*45/10 = x

We can factor out a 2:

3*45/5 = x

We can also factor out a 5:

3*9/1 = x

27 = x

The tree is 27 feet tall.

I'm really confused on this one please answer !!!!!!!

The formula for finding the area of a rug: A = s^2

Plugging in the values we know, we can solve for s.

79 = s^2

Take the square root of both sides.

\sqrt{79} = s

\sqrt{79} is approximately equal to 8.89

So, 8.89 feet is the answer.

-1/3 + (-7/4)<br> pls help
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

  -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

    12  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           7

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1           7

 (0 -  —) +  (0 -  —)

       3           4

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       1     -7

 (0 -  —) +  ——

       3     4

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       3

     The right denominator is :       4

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

3 1 0 1

2 0 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  3 4 12

     Least Common Multiple:

     12

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 4

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      -1 • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      -7 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

-1 • 4 + -7 • 3     -25

———————————————  =  ———

      12            12

Final result :

 -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

 12
