Mrs Smith has 12 times as many markers as color pencils the total number of markers and colored pencils is 78 how many markers does Mrs Smith have

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x = markers
y = colored pencils

12x = y

x= 72
y = 6

Okay, so what I did was divide 78 by 12 (to find the number of colored pencils) which gave me 6.5. You can't have half a colored pencil, so I rounded the number down to get 6. To find the number of markers, I multiplied 12 and 6 (12x = 6) which gave me 72. To check my answer I added the two amounts, 72 + 6, which gave me 78.

A building has a shadow that is 25 feet long. A person 6 feet tall cast a similar shadow. How long is the person's shadow? How do you figure out these types of problems?

Answers

Imagine the side of the building is one side to a triangle and the second would be from the top of the building to the point where the shadow ends and the third is from the base of the building to the point where the shadow ends. Just use the pythagoreon theorem to find stuff. I can't solve the problem you gave because you would need the height of the building

The answer is in the question. If it is a similar shadow wouldn't it be the same?
25 feet

You can solve these word problems using ratios and proportions.
