You are correct!
Step 1:Write what you know
Madeline's Height: 6 ftMadeline's Shadow: 108 in
Friend's Height: X (we use X as a variable because his height is unknown)Friend's Shadow: 108 in - 1.5 ft 108 in - 18 in 90 in
Step 2:Set up proportions
6 x----- = -----108 90
Step 3:Cross Multiply & Solve
108x = 540x = 5 ft tall

Measurement of "AC" :
(x + 5) + (2x <span>− 11) ;
________________________
Find the measurement of "AB" [which is: "(x+5)" ]:
______________________________________________
First, simplify to find the measurement of "AC" :
________________________________________
</span>(x + 5) + (2x − 11) ;
= (x + 5) + 1(2x − 11) ;
= x + 5 + 2x − 11 ;
→ Combine the "like terms" ;
x + 2x = 3x ;
5 − 11 = - 6 ;
______________
to get: 3x − 6 ;
_______________
So, (x + 5) + (2x − 11) = 3x − 6 ;
_______________________________
Solve for: "(x + 5)"
_______________________________
We have:
_______________________________
(x + 5) + (2x − 11) = 3x − 6 ;
Subtract: "(2x − 11)" ; from EACH SIDE of the equation ;
to isolate "(x + 5)" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "(x + 5)" ;
________________________________________________________
→ (x + 5) + (2x − 11) − (2x − 11) = (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
→ (x + 5) = (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
_________________________________________________
Note: Simplify: "(3x − 6) − (2x − 11)" ;
→ (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
= (3x − 6) − 1(2x − 11) ;
= 3x − 6 − 2x + 11 ;
__________________________
→ Combine the "like terms" :
_____________________________
+3x − 2x = 1x = x ;
-6 + 11 = 5 ;
_____________________________
To get: x + 5 ;
So we have:
______________________________
x + 5 = x + 5 ;
______________________________
So, x = all real numbers.
x = <span>ℝ </span>
The maximum volume would be when the bottom of the box is a square.
The perimeter of the bottom is 36, so the side of the square would be 36/4 = 9 cm.
Then to find volume multiply the length by the width by the height:
Volume = 9 x 9 x 4 = 324 cm^3
The answer would be a.
It is bigger than 50, so 25 is out. It is smaller than 105, so 105 and 130 are out. That leaves 75. Process of elimination. I hope this helps.
A percent is just a fraction.
So take your two numbers and make a fraction with them ... 18/30 .
18 is 18/30 of 30 .
Now, to find the percent that's equivalent to 18/30 ,
first do the division:
18/30 = 0.6 .
Now, to change a decimal into percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
0.6 = 60% .
18 is 60% of 30 .
