Answer:

height of the man is ≈ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow of the man/ shadow of the tree = height of the man/ height of the tree

4/11 = x/18 cross multiply

11x = 4(18)

11x = 72

x = 6.5

Swamp gas consists primarily of methane, a chemical compound consisting of a 1 : 4 ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms. If a sampl

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms = 1 : 4

It is given that a sample of methane consists of 1564 hydrogen atoms.

Let the carbon atoms in the sample = x

So, we have the relation,

$\frac{Carbon}{Hydrogen}=\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}$

i.e. $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}$

i.e. $x=\frac{1564}{4}}$

i.e. x= 391

Hence, the number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.
