Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a 30*1.26=37.8 cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:

\frac{37.8}{6.3} =6

ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.

To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:

\frac{37.8}{7.7} =5

ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.

How do you estimate an irrational vsquare root? Use COMPLETE sentences! Make sure you use LOTS of details. Word Bank Square Root
suter [353]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets illustrate one method by an example:

Find the square root of  12:

The 2 perfect squares around 12 are 3^2 and 4^2 so the square root of 12 is going to be between 3 and 4.

We might predict it to be 3.5

If we square 3.5 we get 12.25 so we are pretty close.

It is less than 3.5 so we might try 3.4 .

Working 3.4^2 out we get  11.56  so we know the square root is between 3.4 and 3.5  Since 12.25 is closer to 12 than 11.56, the square root is closer to 3.5 than 3.4 so we might try 3.46.

This is called the method of trial and improvement and requires you to do long multiplications.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question</em>

Given

30% in 12 minutes

Required

Time to complete the homework

From the question: m represents the required minutes

This implies that:

30\% * m = 12

Convert to decimal

0.30 * m = 12

0.3 m = 12
