Answer:

122.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow cast by the man = 3.1 m

Height of the man = 1.9 m

Shadow cast by the lighthouse = 200 m

Height of the lighthouse = x

If two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal.

Therefore,

x/1.9 = 200/3.1

Multiply both sides by 1.9

x = (200*1.9)/3.1

x = 122.6 m (nearest tenth)

The lighthouse is 122.6 m tall

Emily has 300 books. if frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has

Alex_Xolod [135]

This statement is false.
If he were to double the amount that Emily has to get franks, franks would have more.
Look :)
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 300 x 2 = 600

now...
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 600

So frank has more! NOT fewer.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the amount that was earned and divide it by the amount he works.

$\frac{146.00}{10} = 14.6 per hour.$

then to find the number of hours he would have to work next week to earn $43.80 you divide the amount per hour by the amount he would have to work next week.

$\frac{43.80}{14.6} = 3 hours$
