20% also equals 1/5, right?
So in order to find the total number of turtle nests, just find 5/5, or multiply 15 by 5.
15 x 5 = 75
There were 75 total nests
We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.
We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.
![12\text{ inches}=12\times 2.54\text{ cm}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=12%5Ctext%7B%20inches%7D%3D12%5Ctimes%202.54%5Ctext%7B%20cm%7D)
![12\text{ inches}=30.48\text{ cm}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=12%5Ctext%7B%20inches%7D%3D30.48%5Ctext%7B%20cm%7D)
Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
