Answer:

Create a proportion.

\frac{5}{6} = \frac{305}{x}\\

This proportion is saying,

"If 5 corresponds to 6, then 305 corresponds to what?"

Cross multiply.

5x = 305(6)

5x = 1830

x = 1830 / 5

x = 366

So, the shadow of the statue should be 366 feet.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

B) 1.75 + 0.45m = 13.90

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the Taxi fare, we need to sum the fixed charge and the additional charge. Fixed charge ever is $1.75. The additional charge changes with the miles traveled (one mile costs $0.45, two miles $0.90, and so on), so we need multiply the charge ($0.45) by the miles m traveled.  

1.75 + 0.45 m

The problem says that the fare was equals to $13.90 so the final equation is

1.75 + 0.45m = 13.90
