Answer 17

x = 200.........right?

Answer 18

So after converting ft to inches, you get

60 for the height of the person
120 the person's distance from the lens

So replacing those in the proportion you get:

\[\frac{60}{x}=\frac{120}{3}\]

Answer 19

Just kidding! geez my brain is fried

Answer 20

\[\frac{60}{x}=40\]

Answer 21

60 = 40x
6 = 4x
6/4 = x
2/3 = x

Answer 22

in inches, not feet

Answer 23

60/x = 40
x = 40/60
x = 4/6
x = 2/3
x = .67?
