Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
3*5=15
3*8=24
15-24= -9
-9-7=-16
Rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into a fraction. They can be negative or positive.
Integers are whole numbers. They can be negative or positive.
Numbers such as 0.10 are rational because they can be turned into a fraction
0.10 = 1/10....and since it is not a whole number, it is not an integer.
