10 is to x as 6 is to 18 or
10/x=6/18
10/x=⅓
10=⅓x
3(10)=⅓x*3
30=x
the tree is 30 feet tall
I did the math on a word document; hopefully, the steps help. Remember to use a graphic calculator to solve it.
If it didn't have that piece cut out on the bottom, it would be a rectangle that's 9cm wide and 5cm high. Its area would be 9x5= 45 cm².
But that piece is cut out of the bottom. The cut-out piece is 3cm wide and 3cm high, so its area is 3x3= 9 cm².
9 cm² have been cut out of the 45 cm² of the complete big rectangle. So the remaining area of the figure is 45 - 9 =<em> 36 cm²</em> .
So basically sam split the 1000 to 2 groups so we have 1000 ÷ 2
now the first group divided the 500 (since 1000÷ 2 is 500) among five children so it would be 500 ÷ 5 which equals 100 per child and the second group divided their 500 between to boys, so you would get 500÷2 which is 250
so for group one it would be: 1000÷2÷5 which equals 100 per child and the second group is 1000÷2÷2 which equals 250 for each brother
