Answer:

7 1/2 ÷ 1 1/2

make them improper fractions;

15/2 ÷ 3/2

make 3/2 a reciprocal(basically flipping the fraction upside down)

15/2 ÷ 2/3

and multiply across;

15/2 x 2/3 = 30/6 which simplifies to 5 bags of flour.

Answer:

a 1

b 6

c 15

Step-by-step explanation:

101% 101/100 = 1 1/100

is 1 complete 100 grid and 1/100 of another grid so you will need 2 grids

589% 589/100 = 5 89/100

is 5 complete 100 grids and 89/100 of another grid so you will need 6 grids

1450% 1450/100 = 14 50/100

is 14 complete grids and 50/100 of another grid so you will need 15 grids

1 + 1/5 = 6/5

5/5 + 1/5 = 6/5

6/5 = 6/5

A meter stick casts a shadow 2.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 9.7 m long. How tall is the flagpole

Luda [366]

The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let $h$ be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for $h$ :
$\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=4.04$

We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.
