Answer:
(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)
Step-by-step explanation:
A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.
You have units of miles. You know that ...
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.
Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:
(12 inches)/(1 foot)
When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.
_____
With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...
(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet
or
(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of people attending the history museum is 200
Surveyed people are 25
Out of the 25, 12 people said yes
Therefore; the fraction which said yes = 12/25
To find the total number of people expected to say yes out of those that attended the history museum;
Fraction of the sampled that said yes × total number of people that attended.
= 12/25 × 200
= 96
Answer:
Positive
Step-by-step explanation:
5a < 2a
Divide 2 on both sides
5/2a < a
15 in 2 hours is 7.5 in an hour (I divided by 2). And she would only get $20 for that.
(Half of what she gets in 2 hours)
So her rate is $20 per 7.5 pages per hour.
