Answer:
0, 1, 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would have to make them have the same denominators.
The lowest one they share is 24.
What ever you do to the bottom you have to do to the bottom.
1/6, times each by 4.
1 * 4 = 4
6 * 4 = 24
4/24.
Now you have to do the same thnig for 5/8.
But times it by 3, since 8 times 3 is 24.
5 * 3 = 15
8 * 3 = 24
15/24
Now subtract.
15 - 4 = 11/24
the difference is close to one half.
4/24 = 1/6 is close to 0.
15/24 = 5/8 is close to 1.
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
The parallelogram is 45 square meters. Multiply the base by the height. The triangle is 36 square meters. Multiply the base by the height and divide by two. Thus, the answer is 81.
