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.
There are sixteen ounces in a pound. 3/8 x 16/1= 48/8=6 oz
So, I'm assuming that the x represents multiplication...
Because multiplication has a higher precedence over addition, we'll multiply the numbers first:
18 + 48
Then we simply add:
66
<span>The
sales tax in New Jersey is 6%. For a $16 book, what will the total cost be,
including sales tax?
Solutions:
=> 16 dollars is the amount of book
=> 6% is the sales tax which is equals to (6% / 100% = 0.06)
Let’s follow the formula to get the total amount to be paid.
=> 16 dollars * .06 = .96 dollars
Now, let’s add this together:
=> .96 + 16 dollars = 16.96 dollars.</span>
Answer:
The answer would be A. 1 1/5
48/40 = 1 8/40
1 8/40 Simplify to 1 1/5
Hope this helps!
