Question

the ratios of the height of two trees is 7:5. if the first tree is 210 feet high how tall is the second tree?

Answer 1

use ratio and proportion

7 : 5 = 210 : x

Answer 2

so the ratio for the 210 feet high one is 7 so the second is 5 so 210/7*5=x which is how tall the second tree is. Good luck!

Answer 3

\[\frac75 = \frac{210}{x}\]
7x = 1050
Can you solve from here?

Answer 4

can you show me step by step please

Answer 5

There's only one step. Divide both sides by 7 and tell me what you get for x.
