at a certain time of day, a 40 foot building casts a 8 foot shadow. how tall is a person who casts a 2 foot shadow?

1 answer:

7 0

40 feet = 8 foot shadow

So in order to go from 40 to 8 you divide by 5.
So if you have a person who casts a 2 foot shadow, you have to multiply by 5.

Your answer would be 10 feet.
Hope I helped :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 = 1/9 + x ...multiply by LCD of 72

9 = 8 + 72x

9 - 8 = 72x

1 = 72x

1/72 = x

1/8 = 1/10 + x....multiply by 40

5 = 4 + 40x

5 - 4 = 40x

1 = 40x

1/40 = x

1/8 = 1/11 + x....multiply by 88

11 = 8 + 88x

11 - 8 = 88x

3 = 88x

3/88 = x

can all unit fractions be made in more then 1 way like this ?

not to sure because that last one....because it has been that a unit fraction is the outcome of adding together 2 unit fractions...but that last one...3/88 is not a unit fraction

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} (x-5)=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

So when we multiply this is what we get:

$\frac{x-5}{4}=13$

then we multiply the 4 by 13:

$x-5=52$

then after that we add 52+5 and we get:

$x=57\\$
