Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be translated to:
"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.
Which is the height of the building?"
We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:
(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)
H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m
H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m
The height of the building is 6.49 meters.
Answer:
72 alligators, 128 turtles
Step-by-step explanation:
When you put the words into the form of an equation, with a being alligators, you get
3a-16=200
So you have to do 'letters left numbers right'. This gives you
3a=216
Now you have to divide. 216 divided by 3 equals 72. So there are 72 alligators. 200 minus 72 equals 128, so there are 128 turtles
