Answer:
What games do you play
Step-by-step explanation:
(X (Fiona) + Y (Gary))/20 (10 days for each of them so it’s 20)
(x+y)/6
The height of the telephone tower is 120 feet.
The first step to solve this problem is to figure out what fraction of the height of the actual object the shadow is. We can find this by dividing the length of the shadow by the actual height.
4/6 = 2/3, meaning that the shadow is 2/3 of the actual height
Since we know that the shadow is 2/3 of the height, we can multiply by the reciprocal, 3/2, to find the actual height if we know the length of the shadow.
80 · 3/2 = 120, so the height of the telephone tower is 120 feet.
4x + 160y = 120
and
1x + 240y = 80
that will be be the equations. if we multiply the bottom equation by 4 we get:
4x + 960y = 320
now subtract one equation from another:
4x + 160y = 120
-(4x + 960y = 320)
and get:
-800y = -200
y = $0.25
now plug this into one equation
x +240(.25) = 80
x + 60 = 80
x = $20
so $20 per day and $0.25 per mile
