The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,
If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow
The proportion would therefore be:
Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.
36 divided by 2 is 18 cookies which means half the sugar, or 1 cup.
54 divided by 3 is 18, If 18 cookies need 1 cup, then 54 needs 3 cups
When you have a power to a fraction, you simply take it by the top and then by the bottm.
So, split it into two: (2)^4 and (5)^4
Solve: (2)^4=16
(5)^4=625
So the fraction is: 16/625
Check to see if it reduces: It doesn't. (Odd and even numbers that have no common multiples).
Therefore, that's the answer.
