A tortoise walks 3 inches in 1 second. How many feet per second can the tortoise walk?
2 answers:
Set up the conversion factor like this:
The inches are in the denominator while the feet are in the numerator in the conversion factor. It's set up this way because the numerators and denominators have to be able to cancel out. In this case, the inches would cancel out, and you would end up with 3/12 feet, which is also 0.25 feet. The turtle walks 0.25 feet per second.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Three zeroes equal 1,000
2. One zero equal 10
3. One zero equal 10
4. Look at the value without the zeroes
5. Three zeroes equal 1,000
6. Look at the value without the zeroes
7. Since 890 has one zero, one more zero equal 10
8. Look at the value without the zeroes
9. Same as 8.
10. Three zeroes equal 1,000
11. Look at the value without the zeroes
12. Three zeroes equal 1,000
13. Same as 11.
14. Same as 13.
15. N/A
16. I am not sure about this one cause I don't know if there are more zeroes or not, but same as 13.
Answer:
6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the distance with a distance formula (need the points and it has a big, long square root) BUT, when you have an image like this graph you can totally see a right triangle and use the Pythagorean Theorem (distance formula is derived from Pythagorean theorem anyway) see image
