Karen claps her hand and hears the echo from a distant wall 0.113 s later. How far away is the wall? The speed of sound in air i
1 answer:
Answer:
19.3795 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If sound travels at 343 m/s and it took Karen 0.113 s to hear the echo from the wall, the distance travelled by the sound is:
Note that the distance calculated above is the distance travelled from Karen to the wall and then back from the wall to Karen. Therefore, the distance between Karen and the wall is:
The wall is 19.3795 m away from Karen.

Upper Tolerance
Remark
The 11/16 is the only thing that will be affected. The three won't go up or down when we add 1/64 so we should just work with the 11/16. We need only add 11/16 and 1/64 together to see what the upper range is. Later on we can add 3 into the mix.
Solution
<u>Upper Limit</u>
Now change the 11/16 into 64. Multiply numerator and denominator or 11/16 by 4
Which results in
With a final result for the fractions of 45/64
So the upper tolerance = 3 45/64
<u>Lower Tolerance</u>
Just follow the same steps as you did for the upper tolerance except you subtract 1/64 like this.
Your answer should be 3 and 43/64
