A statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long. A boy that is 4 ft tall casts a shadow that is 6 ft long. How tall is the statue?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boy is 4 ft tall, but he casts a 6 ft long shadow. You need to find how long a shadow would be if a person/thing was just 1 ft tall.

To do this, you would need to divide 4 by 4, and 6 by 4 as well.

6/4 is 1.5, or 1 and a half.

If a person (or a thing) is 1 foot tall, the statue will cast 1 and a half feet long shadow.

The statue casts a 9 ft long shadow.

Since we already figured out 1 ft = 1 and 1/2 ft shadow, and since the statue casts a 9 foot long shadow, you need to divide 9 by 1.5.

(You'll get 6.)

This means that the statue is 6 feet tall, and it casts a 9 foot long shadow.

2.6π2, point, 6, pi meters long.
What is the radius
r
rr of the circle that the python forms?

Answers

Answer: 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle that python forms is 1.3 meters.

What is Circle?

Circle is a two dimensional figure which consist of set of all the points which are at equal distance from a point which is fixed called the center of the circle.

Given that,

Length of python = 2.6π meters

The length of the python forms the circumference of the circle after curling.

Circumference of a circle = 2π r, where r is the radius.

2π r = 2.6π

2r = 2.6

r = 2.6 / 2

r = 1.3

Hence 1.3 meters is the radius of the circle.

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

(450) + (28.75x) = 967.50
solve for x

Answers

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In order to solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

To do this, we subtract 450 from both sides of the equation, and this will give you:

28.75x = 517.5

As mentioned, we need to isolate x, so we divide both sides by 28.75. This will give the following.

x = 18

Problem #1: Ms. Barrett is doing an art project with her class. She has 4 sheets of tissue paper. If she gives each student a third of a sheet, how many students will get tissue paper?​

Answers

Answer:

12 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had 4 sheets, you would want to start by dividing them all in 3's, since that's easiest. (open the file i just for a better example of how the sheet should look).

Now, let's assume these sheets are regular office sized paper.

Start by handing 1 third out to A student.

Now, since there are 4 sheets, divided in 3 sections, we multiply to see the result of how many sections there are.

4 x 3 = 12.

Therefore, 12 students will receive a third of the tissue paper.

Answer: 10,500 gm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pasta requires 3.5 kg of tomatoes

we know, [tex]1\ kg=1000\ mL[/tex]

If the amount is triples, the quantity of tomatoes is [tex]3\times 3.5=10.5\ kg[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 10.5\ kg\equiv 10.5\times 1000=10,500\ gm[/tex]

Thus, he uses 10,500 gm of tomatoes

The blueprint for a fence shows a rectangle with the dimensions bin x
18in. The scale for the actual fence is 2in : 10ft. What is the length and
width of the actual fence?

Answers

Answer:

The width of the actual fence is 90ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2in = 10ft, you want to find the scale factor. To do this, you need to divide 10/2, so for every 5ft, it is 1in. Now, you would take how many inches you have and multiply it by 5. (in our case, 18in)

18 x 5 = 90.

So the actual fence length is 90ft.
