The sculptures at Mount Rushmore each measure about 60 feet from chin to forehead. For the average person, this distance is 9 in
ches. The average distance between a person's ears is 6 inches. What is the ratio of a person's chin to forehead distance compared to the distance between his ears?
Distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that distance from chin to forehead for the average person is 9 inches and distance between a person's ears is 6 inches. We are supposed to compare the ratio of a person's chin to forehead distance with respect to the distance between his ears.
We can present our given information as:
Therefore, distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.
Yes because you multiply first so in this case you multiply 7 and 3 first. Since the second expression is in parenthesis you do that first just like you do 7 times 3. Then you just add 2 to that. The value of both expressions is 23
