Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=12
x-y=18
Now eliminate the y by adding the two equations together to get
2x=30
x=15
then solve for y.
15+y=12
15-y=18
y= -3
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
If 380 would be 100%
Then use rule of 3
380 ______ 100%
440 ______ y
380y = 440×100%
380y = 440 × 1
Dividing both the sides by 380
y = 440/380
y = 1,158
Let's multiplity "y" by 100
y = 115,8%
As we did have 100% initially
Then the increase will be
The increase = 115,8% -100%
= 15,8%
This would your answer
