Answer:
32 meters long (please double-check! sometimes ppl make mistakes)
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of height to shadow length is 15:8, as established in the first sentence. if both sides of the ratio are multiplied by 4 then the ratio becomes 60:32.
more in depth:
if you think of it as fractions (which ratios can be written as) multiplying both the numerator and denominator by four is the equivalent of multiplying by 4/4 aka 1 so the value still stays the same (one times something is the same thing). since the ratio of height to shadow length is constant we needed to solve for the ratio in which the height is 60, so multiply each side by 4 (aka 60 divided by 15) to find the new ratio, 15(4):8(4) or 60:32. the ratio 60:32 describes height to shadow, so while the height is 60 (said in the problem) then the shadow length is 32. adding units, the answer would be 32 meters.
Answer: 48 ounces in 3 pounds (16 ounces to a pound)
So that answer is in this picture that I wrote on my white board, count all of the hundreds I drew on the board.
Answer:
we have
when
base=8cm
height=11cm
area of parallelogram is :base×height
=8*11=88cm³
Now for
base=15cm
height=h
we have
the area of parallelogram=88cm²
base ×height=88cm²
15*h=88
h=88/15
h=88/15 or 5 13/15 or 5.86 cm in approximately
