Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
Answer:
6% of the changes were from incorrect to incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the percentages must be 100%.
We have these following percentages
65% of the changes were from incorrect answers to correct
29% were from correct to incorrect
P% were from incorrect to incorrect
So
6% of the changes were from incorrect to incorrect
Answer:
The answer would be 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to multiply 1/4 three times which gives you 1/64 then you take 576 and multiply it by 1/64 which gives you 9. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The answer to your question is
a) Poster width = 3 in
lenght = 9 in
b) banner
width = 2 in
lenght = 10 in
Step-by-step explanation:
a) For the poster
width = x
lenght = 3x
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2base + 2 height
= 2(x) + 2(3x) = 24
2x + 6x = 24
8x = 24
x = 24/8
x = 3
width = 3 in
lenght = 3(3) = 9 in
b) For the banner
width = y
lenght = 5y
Perimeter of a banner = 2 base + 2 height
2 (y) + 2(5y) = 24
2y + 10y = 24
12y = 24
y = 24/12
y = 2
width = 2 in
lenght = 5(2) = 10 in
