Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>

It’s right
59×2=118 cost of bill.
59÷4=14.75 for the other 4 if the bill was 118 assuming Thomas pays half.
or...59 ×5=295
assuming they all pd 1/5 of the bill
When you know your equation f(x) and they want you to find f(-4), it means that they want to know what f(x) is worth when x=-4
Therefore, you only need to plug in you x in the equation
f(x)=5x-2
f(-4)=5(-4)-2
=-20-2
=-22 (B)
Answer:
124 million in 2007
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a proportion match question, we consider 121-116 to represent a 9 year change = 5 rate of change per 9 years. We need to find one year so we divide 5/9=0.55 per year growth. =2002- 2007= 0.55 million x 5 = 2.8million growth add 121 million = 121 =123.8 in 2007 = 124 million to nearest m.
