Question

The height of Mountain P is 1,086 feet.The height of Mountain Q is 4 times the height of Mountain P.The area model shown below represents one way to find the height of Mountain Q. What are missing values for a,b,c in the model?

Answer 1

Answer:

A=4000, B=80, C=24

Step-by-step explanation:

You forgot to put the correct area model, I attached it to the answer.

We have the fact that Mountain Q is 4 times the height of Mountain P. That's the "4" we have in the left side of our model. It's like having a multiplication table, next to the "4" we have "A" and upper this we have "1000", the only thing we have to do is multiplify 4*1000=4000. The next letter we have is B and below it we have "320", we divided it by 4, 320/4=80. The last letter we have is C, and is below a "6", we only have to multiplify it by 4, 6*4=24.

At the end we only sum our

• A + 320 + c = 4344 (4 times the height of Mountain P).
• 1000 + B + 6 = 1086(the height of the Mountain P).
