Answer:

28.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A water tower casts a shadow that is 24 foot long. A 9.5 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 8 foot long. What is the height of the water tower?

The formula is given as:

Height of the tower/Shadow of the tower = Height of the tree/Shadow of the tree

Let the Height of the tower = x

Hence:

x/24 = 9.5/8

Cross Multiply

8x = 24 × 9.5

x = 24 × 9.5/8

x = 28.5 feet

Therefore, the height of the water tower is 28.5 feet

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

25% or 30L

What is 20 5/81 in simplest form
Marizza181 [45]
20 5/81 in its simplest form is 20 5/81.

20 5/81 originally looks like this ⇒ 1625/81

((20 * 81)+5)/81 = (1620+5)/81 = 1625/81   * this is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Improper fractions must be converted to proper fractions. It will then become a mixed fraction.
