A tree stands 15 ft high. it’s shadow is 5 1/2 ft long. a man 6 ft tall stands near the tree. what would be the length of the man’s shadow to the nearest foot.

The length of the man’s shadow is 2.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the height of the tree = = 15 feet

Length of the shadow of the tree = = 5.5 feet

Height of the man= = 6 feet

Length of the shadow of the man= = ?

Ratio of length of objects = ratio of lengths of their shadows

=

=

=

5 = 5.5 × 2

= = 2.2 Feet

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
