Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

Whats 1/5 - 1/7 please can you tell me how to work it out<br> thanks
Andrej [43]
Convert the fractions so they both have the same denominator (bottom part of the fraction)

1/5 = 7/35

This is because 5*7=35, so 1*7=7

1/7 = 5/35

This is because 7*5=35, so 1*5 =5

Then subtract the top numbers to get the answer:

\frac{7}{35}-\frac{5}{35} = \frac{2}{35}

Taking the LCM of 4 , 3 , 18

LCM of 4 , 3 ,18 is 36

Therefore

(279+204+16) /36

499 / 36

\rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

Therefore the best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}.
