You could also use a ruler or some other measuring device for (2). You can also draw a picture of a circle with the denominator as the slices, and the numerator as the shaded areas, then compare both fractions together for (3).
Answer:
1) Option (b) 32km
2) Option (c) 17
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse²=Perpendicular²+Base²
H²=P²+B²
1) Perpendicular=?
Base=24km
Hypotenuse=40km
40²=P²+24²
1600=P²+576
1600-576=P²
1024=P²
√1024=P
32=P
2) Perpendicular=15
Base=8
Hypotenuse=?
H²=15²+8²
H²=225+64
H²=289
H=√289
H=17
Answer:
First blank- 32000 ounces
Second blank- 2000 pounds
Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4
The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces
The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces
16 ounces = 1 pound
32000 ounces = x pounds
==> = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds
2000 pounds = 1 ton
therefore the bridge holds 1 ton
