You know where the glacier is now, and how far it moves in
one year. The question is asking how close to the sea it will be
after many years.
Step-1 ... you have to find out how many years
Step-2 ... you have to figure out how far it moves in that many years
Step-3 ... you have to figure out where it is after it moves that far
The first time I worked this problem, I left out the most important
step ... READ the problem carefully and make SURE you know
the real question. The first time I worked the problem, I thought
I was done after Step-2.
============================
Step-1: How many years is it from 2010 to 2030 ?
(2030 - 2010) = 20 years .
Step-2: How far will the glacier move in 20 years ?
It moves 0.004 mile in 1 year.
In 20 years, it moves 0.004 mile 20 times
0.004 x 20 = 0.08 mile
Step-3: How far will it be from the sea after all those years ?
In 2010, when we started watching it, it was 6.9 miles
from the sea.
The glacier moves toward the sea.
In 20 years, it will be 0.08 mile closer to the sea.
How close will it be ?
6.9 miles - 0.08 mile = 6.82 miles (if it doesn't melt)
One decimeter equals 10 centimeters. So 3 decimeters equals 30 centimeters. They are equal.
There was a time that a friend of mine got to a decision because the leader of the group said so (it was a group project). Although it was clear that he did not want to comply to the decision, he made it because it was what the leader said so.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
:)
There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram.
Each gram of water has a volume of 1 milliliter (the question said millimeter but that measures length and I think it was meant to say milliliter).
Since there are 1,000 grams with a volume of 1 millimeter each, the volume is 1,000 milliliters, which is equal to 1 liter.
Hope this helps!
