Lamar planted 4/15 of his land with corn. This was obtained by multiplying the fractions 2/3 and 2/5 to give the fraction of the land that was planted with corn.
To solve this problem, we need to find 2/3 of 2/5. Multiplication of fractions is the best method to use here. Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
Here are the steps:
In conclusion, if Lamar planted 2/3 of his 2/5 land with corn, he planted 4/15 of the land with corn.

Jack bought two sweaters for $17.99 and a pair slacks for $25.50. Including a 5 1/2% tax, how much was his total purchase?
Question 5 options:
$64.86
$61.48
$52.99
$28.98
Answer:
(A) $90.23
(B) $64.86
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) Given, The cost of one skirt = $18.27
The cost of one shirt = $15.78, Then cost of two shirt = 2 × $15.78 =$ 31.56
and The cost of pair of shoes = $34.50
Thus, I have done total purchase of $18.27 + $31.56 + $34.50 = $84.33.
And, paying the tax of 7%
The total cost I spend = $84.33 × (100 + 7)% = $90.23
(B) Given, The cost of one sweater = $17.99, Then cost of two sweater = 2 × $18.27 =$ 35.98
The cost of one slack = $25.50
Thus, I have done total purchase of $35.98 + $25.50 = $61.48.
And, paying the tax of 5.5%
The total cost I spend = $61.48 × (100 + 5.5)% = $64.86

Answer:
25.7 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the actual length of tree.
We have been given that in sunlight, a vertical stick 7 ft tall casts a shadow 3 ft long. We are asked to find the actual length of tree casting a 11 ft long shadow.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.
Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 11, we will get:
Therefore, the tree is 25.7 feet tall.
