Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
A number line consists only of one axis, conventionally a horizontal axis. Just create a line, and scale it according to practicality and your preference. Usually, it has an interval of 1 unit. But for this case, since it is in fraction form, the interval should be smaller so that you can see clearly where it is located.
In decimal form, 13/17 is equal to 0.7647058824. Let's just round this off to 0.764, that can suffice already. So, you would expect it to be between 0.7 and 0.8 on the number line. Just estimate visually where it is located. Since, it is more than 0.75, the dot would be just slightly closer to 0.8 than 0.7. The exact location is shown in the attached picture.
Answer:
4, 2, 9, 3. They all work out
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need more help just lemme know! :))
Answer:
y=
Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides
8y+5=6
move the constant to the right
8y=6-5
calculate
8y=1
divide both sides
y=
or y=0.125
