This is a units conversion problem: you have time and you want to convert that to money. Any units conversion problem involves multiplication by 1 in various forms. When you are given 7.5 min = 1 bottle = 500g, you know that (500 g)/(7.5 min) = 1 because the numerator and denominator are equal. (Of course, you are aware that 500 g = 0.500 kg.) The idea is to choose the forms of 1 that cause units you don't want to cancel, leaving only the units you do want.

Answer:
<h2>height = 12 cm</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is given by
where
b is the base
h is the height
From the question
Area = 21 m²
The statement
The height of a triangle is 8 m more than the length of the base is written as
h = 8 + b
Make b the subject
That's
b = h - 8
Substitute the expression into the above formula and solve for the height
That's
Multiply through by 2
h² - 8h = 48
h² - 8h - 48 = 0
(h + 4)(h - 12) = 0
h + 4 = 0 h - 12 = 0
h = - 4 h = 12
Since the height cannot be a negative number we have the final answer as
<h3>height = 12 cm</h3>Hope this helps you
