Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
Answer:
13% did not participate in citys recycling program not sure about the first part
Step-by-step explanation:
Could it be 12? Difference between 16-13=3, 13-7=6. 4-3=1, 3-1=2. Seems as if for each column, difference between first and second row is one half the difference between the 2nd and third rows
So 1 USD is 2.89 RON
That means...
177 ÷ 2.89 = 61.24USD
Answer:
m = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
11m + 13 = m + 23
<u>Get m by itself by subtracting m from both sides. </u>
10m + 13 = 23
<u>Subtract 13 from both sides.</u>
10m = 10
<u>DIvide by 10.</u>
m = 1
