1 1/2 cakes
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 ÷ 1/4
3/8 * 4/1
12/8
3/2
1 1/2
That's the symmetric property
Set up ratios of height / shadow length:
8/6 = x/100
Cross multiply
6x = 800
Divide both sides by 6
X = 133.33 feet
The tower is 133.3 feet
Answer:
^algebra^
#1). a - b=4
a=4 + b .....(equation 1)
#2) a + b=12
(4 + b) + b= 12
4 + b + b=12
4 + 2b=12
2b= 12 - 4
2b =8
b= 8:2
b=4
subtituted b in equation 1
a= 4 + b
a= 4 + 4
a=8
so, the number is 8 and 4
