Ratio in which Mr.Jeff divided his money between Jack and Jon = 4:2
Let us assume the common ration to be = x
The amount of money that Jon got = $1256
Then
2x = 1256
x = 1256/2
= 628
Then
The amount of money that Jon got = 4 * 628 dollars
= 2512 dollars
So the amount that Jack got is $2512. As Jack got the major or the bigger share of the money, so the answer is correct. I hope the procedure for solving the question is also easy for you to understand.
1. x - 8
2. 13 + 2y
3. 4 ( x+ 5)
4. 7x
5. m + 6
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.
Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet
The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).
