Answer:

Her current age is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age: x

"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."

In 10 years: <u>x + 10</u>

6 years less than triple: <em>3x - 6</em>

<u>x + 10</u> = <em>3x - 6</em>

<em>solve.</em>

<em>16 = 2x</em>

<em>x = 8</em>

Drew jumped farther than all 4 students above but jumped shorter than 7 feet , 7 inches. How far could drew have jumped? Write s
S_A_V [24]
<h3>The distance covered by Drew in long jump is either 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the needed table is attached for the reference.

Now, as we can see from the table:

The distance covered by  Cindy  = 2 yards, 1 foot 3 inches

The distance covered by  Tyrette   =  7 feet, 2 inches

The distance covered by Nina   =   2 yards, 1 foot, 1 inch

The distance covered by  Monique   = 7 feet, 4 inches

As we know : 1 yard  =  3 feet

So, the distance covered  by :

Cindy  =  2 yards, 1 foot 3 inches = 3 ft x (2)  + 1 ft +  3 in  = 7 ft 3 in

Tyrette   =  7 feet, 2 inches

Nina   =   2 yards, 1 foot, 1 inch  = = 3 ft x (2)  + 1 ft +  1 in  = 7 ft 1 in

Monique   = 7 feet, 4 inches

So by comparing all distances, we can see that:

The maximum distances jumped by all four  is 7 ft 4 inches.

The distance covered by Drew is less than 7 ft 7 in.

So, he must have jumped 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.

Hence, the distance covered by Drew in long jump is either 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.

Multiply the weight in tonnes by the conversion factor ( 1 tonne = 1000 kg) to get the weight in kg's:

170 tonnes x 1000 = 170,000

Now convert to scientific notation, by moving the decimal point to have only 1 digit to the left of the decimal.

To do this, you would need to move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 1.70000

Now remove the 0's and multiply the number by 10 raised to the number of paces the decimal was moved to get:

1.7 x 10^5 kg's.
