Kyle received 60/100 on his algebra test. If he scored 3 points, how many points was the test out of? Answer is 5.
Answer:
A tree of 60 feet casts the shadow of 100 feet, at the same time, what is the length of the shadow of a boy who is 3 feet tall ?
Solution :
Let b represents the length ( in ft ) of the shadow of the boy,
∵ Height of the boy = 3 ft,
So, the ratio of the height of boy and his shadow = [tex]\frac{3}{b}[/tex]
Now, the tree of 60 ft long casts 100 ft shadow,
So, the ratio of height of tree and its shadow = [tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex]
At the same time,
[tex]\frac{3}{b}=\frac{60}{100}[/tex]
Which is the required equation.
