Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Answer:
12.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
15/6 is 2.5. 2.5 is how many hours per worker. 5 times 2.5 is 12.5 hours
We can't see what you're trying to say.
X and y are equal to 36.8
multiply by 24
eg: 2 days = 2×24 = 48hrs
