Answer:
Building's shadow length = 180 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A 50-foot flagpole is at the entrance of a building that is 300 feet tall.
Its forms a right angled triangle from both ends,both of them are similar because the angle of the sun is the same at the same time of day.
From similar triangle property we can say that.
⇒ length of the building shadow times height of the flagpole's = length of the flagpole's shadow times height of the building
Or
Plugging the values in the above equation we have,
Let length of the building shadow ='x' feet
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒ feet.
So the length of the building shadow is 180 feet.
First you make 15 a fraction by putting it over 1.
Then you make 6 2/3 a mixed fraction.
To do this, you multiply 6 with 3 and add 2 to it. Then you put the number over 3.
We get
6 X 3 = 18
18 +2 = 20
20/3
Now, we divide 15/1 with 20/3.
When we divide it, we actually cross multiply it. Basically, we flip the fraction and multiply it.
So we get 15/1 X 3/20 =
.
We get 45/20 which can be simplified to 9/5 which can be simplified to 2 1/4.
So the answer is 9/4 or 2 1/4.
Then you make 6 2/3 a mixed fraction.

We get
6 X 3 = 18
18 +2 = 20
20/3
Now, we divide 15/1 with 20/3.
