When a 40-foot pole casts a shadow of 30 feet, how tall is a nearby tree that
casts a shadow of 15 feet?

Set up a ratio with height over shadow height:

40/30 = x/15

Cross multiply:

40 x 15 = 30x

600 = 30x

Divide both sides by 30:

X = 20

The tree is 20 feet tall.

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
