The ratio of building heights will be the same as the ratio of shadow lengths.
(taller building)/(shorter building) = (longer shadow)/(shorter shadow)
(taller building)/(84 ft) = (110 ft)/(46 ft) . . . . . . fill in the given numbers
(taller building) = (84 ft)*(110/46) ≈ 200.9 ft . . multiply by 84 ft, evaluate
The appropriate selection is
D) 200.9 ft
Answer:
multiply both sides by 30 in fraction form 30 / 30
& 570 for the blank square for numerator of 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
h = 8
Let the unknown number be h for height
V = LWH
984 = 20.5 x 6 x h
984 = 20.5 x 6h
984 = 123h
984 ÷ 123h
= 8
Let x=papers on Saturday and y=papers on Sunday
First make equations for the information given to you
x+y=52 (total papers) and y= x+8 (he sold 8 more on Sunday)
then since you know y=x+8 then substitute it in the other equation like so
x+(x+8)=52 which means 2x+8=52 which means 2x=44 and therefore x=22
the problem however asks for sunday and not saturday, so solve for y now
y=x+8 which means y=22+8 which means y=30
He sold 30 papers on Sunday
