In New Salem North Dakota there is a 38-ft-tall statue of a cow named Salem Sue. Suppose the statue's shadow was 57 feet long and a 3.5 foot child was standing next to the statue. How long would the child statue be?

5.25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of Salem Sue = 38 feets

Height of Salem Sue's shadow = 57 feets long

Height of child standing next to the statue = 3.5 foot tall

Length of the child's shadow =?

Let lenght of child's shadow = s

IF;

38 Feets tall = 57 feets lenght

3.5 feets tall = s feets long

Cross multiply :

38 * s = 57 * 3.5

38s = 199.5

38s / 38 = 199.5 /38

s = 5.25

Hence, length of the child's shadow will be 5.25 feets long

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
