Answer:
D) 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose there are 30 girls at the school. Then the proportions tell you that 12 of them study music, and 5 of them study both music and dance.
Then 5 of the 12 girls who study music also study dance. That fraction is 5/12.
_____
We chose 30 because it is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions (2/5, 3/5, 1/6) in the problem statement.
Of course, you know that 2/5·30 = 12, and 1/6·30 = 5.
Answer: 30 feet
--------------------------------
Work Shown:
x = height of tree in feet
The larger triangle, and the smaller triangle that fits inside the larger, are similr triangles.
So we can form the proportion
x/5 = 48/8
Note how x/5 is the result of dividing the larger vertical side (x) over the smaller vertical side (5)
The same applies with 48/8. The larger triangle's horizontal side is 8+40 = 48. The corresponding horizontal side for the smaller triangle is 8
Cross multiply to solve for x
x/5 = 48/8
8*x = 5*48
8*x = 240
8*x/8 = 240/8
x = 30
The tree is 30 feet tall
