Hello there!

Math is hard! So we as students, we need to play the smart game with Math in order to find the easiest way to solve the problems. What do I mean? Well as you can see they gave us Fraction which won't be easy! So we will transform the fractions into decimals. So let's get started.

Then a scale of 1/4. Transformed into decimal = Then a scale of 0.25
So instead of using the fraction 1/4, I used its decimal 0.25

So if:

48 feet ......> 12 inches
x feet ........> 0.25 inches

Cross multiply

12 * x = 0.25 * 48

12x = 12
Divide both sides by 12
12x/12 = 12/12

x = 1

The correct answer is option D, 1 foot

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any question.

Thanks!

why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?
ehidna [41]
Any number above 1 gets greater, below 1 smaller (when above 0), while 1 itself remains the same. Negative numbers are more unpredictable.

This is a pythagorean theorem problem therefore a^2+b^2=c^2
a=8, b=?, c=10
8^2+b^2=10^2
64+b^2=100
100-64=56
square root of b^2=square root of 56
b=2 rad14
2 rad14 +4=
2 (rad14 + 1)= ANSWER

slamgirl [31]

alison, beatrice and chole each of them have at first 56, 8, 32 books.

alison, beatrice and chole each had some books. alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had, lastly chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

<h3>What is Working backward?</h3>

Working backward is process in which calculation done in reverse direction.

let alison, beatrice and chole has x,y and z books initially,

alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had
alison, beatrice and chole has (96-2y-2z), (2y) , (2z)
chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

alison, beatrice and chole has 2(96-2y-2z), 2(2y) , (96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)

at the end,
beatrice = 32

4y=32

y = 8

chole =32

96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)=32
z=32

alison = 96-y-z

x=96-8-32
x=56

Thus the required alison, beatrice and chole each of them have at first 56, 8, 32 books.
