2/9 ÷ 4/1 (keep,change,flip) is 1/18.
We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as
h1/s1 = h2/s2
where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree
Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.
Answer:
1 hour and 42.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question let's call
while it takes Jenna to clean the gutters
Let's call
while it takes John to clean the gutters
h
h
t = total time
g = job = 1 (clean the gutters)
The speed of each one is:
g/ h
g/h

So:


h
Then, both together paint
of gutters for each hour.
This means that it takes
hours to clean the gutters together
Finally cleaning together takes 1,714 hours or also
1 hour and 42.8 minutes
