Answer:

64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the post is 12 feet long. The shadow of the flagpole is 96 feet long.

The shadow of the flagpole is 8 times longer than the shadow of the post.

8 x 8 = 64

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion.

Use ratios of height to shadow length.

Let the height of the flagpole = x.

8 ft is to 12 ft as x is to 96 ft

8/12 = x/96

2/3 = x/96

3x = 2 × 96

x = 2 × 32

x = 64

Answer: 64

David inherited some money from his uncle. He invested half of the money with Bernie
ValentinkaMS [17]
Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder

x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000

LCM: 
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24, 

   x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 *   8/8   = 8x / 24
x/8 *   3/3   = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24

24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000

x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.

960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k

How many different plates can be made with 2 vowels and a digit?
TiliK225 [7]
<h3>Answer:  750</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

If repeats are allowed, then we have 5 vowels (a,e,i,o,u) for the first vowel slot, and 5 choices for the second vowel slot. We also have 10 choices for the numeric digit (0 through 9).

There are 5*5*10 = 250 ways to make a selection of the form LLN where L stands for "letter" (specifically a vowel) and N stands for "number". An example plate could be AE2.

There are also 250 ways to make a selection of the form LNL and 250 ways to select something of the form NLL.

That means there are 3*250 = 750 ways to make a license plate with two vowels and a digit where repeats are allowed.
