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.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me help out based on the information given.

Joshua's recipe for chili requires 2 3/4 ​ pounds of beef. Sondra's recipe for chili requires 2 2/3 ​ pounds of beef.

The pounds of beef required by both of them will be:

= 2 3/4 + 2 2/3

= 2 9/12 + 2 8/12

= 4 17/12

= 4 + 1 5/12

= 5 5/12

The difference in the pounds of beef required by both of them will be:

= 2 3/4 - 2 2/3

= 2 9/12 - 2 8/12

= 1/12

Also, we.can also infer that Joshua recipe for chili requires more pounds of beef than that of Sondra

3⁄2 c + 23 = 38<br><br> can you help me find out what c is pretty please
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

C=10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember, isolate c on one side of the equation.

3/2c+23-23=38-23 (subtract 23 from both sides.)

38-23 (solve.)

38-23=15

3/2c=15

2*3/2c=15*2 (multiply 2 from both sides.)

15*2 (solve.)

15*2=30

3c=30

3c/3=30/3 (divide by 3 from both sides.)

30/3 (solve.)

30/3=10

c=10
