Question

A tree has 2/5 of its height in the earth and 3/8 in water and the reminder 9 meters above water find the height of the tree

Answer 1

to get the answer we need to add all of the lengths in water, in mud, and above the water.

.

. .length above the ground=9m

length in water =3/8m

length embedded in the mud=2/5m

.

. .total length of pole =3+2/5+3/9

=>3+4/10+3/9

=>3+7/19

=>37/9

=>4.111

Answer 2

Answer:

height of tree =40*1=40 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of tree=40x

height in the earth=2/5*40x=16x

height in water=3/8*40x=15x

total height in earth and water

=16x+15=31x

remaining height =40x-31x=9x

this is given equal to 9 m

so 9x=9

x=1 m

Hence height of tree =40*1=40 m
