Answer:
4.5 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
just divide 11.25 by 2.5
The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.
I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.
the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.
When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
18.03 inches
Put the dimensions into the pythagorean theorem, that will give you the answer.
Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
