Answer:

$\approx 6.75 ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's set up a ratio...

Ferris Wheel Height : Ferris Wheel Shadow = 212:110

Man's Height : Man's Shadow = x:3.5

We can rewrite the ratios as fractions:

$\frac{212}{110} =\frac{x}{3.5}$

Now, we can solve using cross multiplication (multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction, and the numerator of the second fraction with the denominator of the first fraction)

742=110x

Divide both sides by 110 to isolate x

$x\approx6.75$ ft

Tammy drove 715 miles in 11 hours. at the same rate, how long would it take her to drive 845 miles?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have direct proportions here.

715=11

845=x

845*11/715

x=13

To check our work.

715/11=65

65*13=845.

Basically, in this formula, you use cross multiplication. So A*B=B*A. B and B go together and A and A go together/

So we can use the formula x = b*b/a. Since A is one of the A's and the other value of A is missing, we can use this formula to find it.

Hope this helped, ask me if you have any questions.

Gerain and Deon are making trail mix. Gerain's recipe calls for 3 parts raisins to 2 parts almonds. Dean's recipe calls for 4 pa

Inessa [10]

To figure out which part has the higher concentration of almonds, we want to see how many almonds are there for every part in each recipe. For the first recpe, we have 2 parts almond for ever 5 total parts, and in the second part, we have 3 parts almonds for every 7 total parts, so we can represent them as the fractions:

$\text{Gerain's concentration}: \frac{2}{5}\\ \text{Deon's concentration}: \frac{3}{7}$

So, which one is greater? Well, let's say they both make 35 total batches (36 is the least commun multiple of the two denominators) that would give them:

$\frac{2}{5}*35=2*7=14\text{ parts raisins}\\
\frac{3}{7}*35=3*5=15 \text{ parts raisins}$

So we have Deon's recipe as the large concentration of raisins.
