If you would like to know how many centimeters are 27 millimeters, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1 cm ... 10 mm
x cm = ? ... 27 mm
1 * 27 = 10 * x
27 = 10 * x /10
x = 27/10
x = 2.7 cm
The correct result would be 2.7 cm.
Answer
Find out the length of the shorter and longer pieces of a board .
To prove
Let us assume that the length of the shorter pieces be x.
As given
Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long.
He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times the length of the shorter piece.
Than the length of the longer pieces = 4x - 4
Than the equation becomes
x + 4x - 4 = 11
5x = 11 + 4
5x = 15

x = 3 ft
Therefore the length of the shorter pieces be 3 ft .
The length of the longer pieces = 4x - 4
= 4 × 3 - 4
= 12 - 4
= 8 ft
Therefore the length of the longer pieces be 8 ft .
7.23 x 10^14
your want you answer in miles ... therefore you multiply 1.23 x 10^2 by 5.88 x 10^12
Standard form is y = mx + c where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
So it would be y = 1/4x - 3
