Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 feet / day [ 1 day / 24 hours] * [12 inches / 1 foot]
This process is called dimensional analysis. The trick it uses is to cancel out units (like feet or days ) where possible. In this case, 1 day is going to cancel out and leave behind 24 hours. 1 foot will cancel out and leave behind 12 inches.
It is well worth learning how to do this, because the process is done in the higher sciences.
So what you are left with is
0.75 * 12 inches / 24 hours
0.75 inches /hour * 1/2
0.375 inches / hour.
3/4 times n=1
remember that when you multiply 3/4 by 4/3 you get 12/12=1 so it simplifies
remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
3/4 ties n=1
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clar fraction
12/12 times n=4/3 times 1
1 times n=4/3
n=4/3
answer is n=4/3 or 1 and 1/3
