First we will change them on the same denominator which will be 12. If we do something to the denominator we must do the same to the numerator so :
For 1/3 we get 4/12 because (1/3)*4 = 4/12
And for 2/3 we get 8/12 because (2/3)*4 = 8/12
So 1/3 is the smaller fraction, 7/12 is in the middle and 2/3 is the bigger fraction.
Answer:
372 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)
1 yard stick = 24 in
This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches
At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in
1 ft = 12 in
Hence,
Convey 20ft to inches
1 ft = 12 in
20 ft = 20 × 12 inches
= 240 inches
Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches
Hence,
Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow
36/24= x /248
Cross Multiply
24 × x = 36× 248
x = 36 × 248/24
x = 372 inches
The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches
The coordinates for this would be : (2, -2)
(6, -2) (6, 4) and (2, 4)
I hope that this helps you !
