Yards because that's the longest measurement tool
Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Drawing obviously not to scale but... Red segment is the ruler, at least the part between 5 and 6 inches, 1 inch long. Brown segment is the pole, ground to the top. Leftmost point is the eye, green line is the horizontal. The triangles are similar (AAA, the vertical lines are parallel), the ratio of the side is the same as the ratio of the heights. The height of the larger triangle (measured across the green line is
.
Ratio of the height is then
.
At this point the height of the pole is 60 times the length of the measure on the ruler, or 60 inches, that is 5 feet. Add the 5 feet the pole was starting from, it's 10 feet.
Answer:
504 millimeters (or 50.4 cm)
Step-by-step explanation:
Width of key in student calculator = 14 millimeter (1.4 cm)
Width of key in demonstration calculator = 2.8 cm
Thus, the demonstration calculator's dimensions are twice that of students' (in cm)
Also given, student calculator height as 252 millimeters (25.2 cm)
Thus demonstration calculator height will be twice of that = 50.4 cm (or 504 millimeters)
Answer:
4 pies
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We know that 12 apple pies are 75 percent of the total apple pies.
Let x = # of pies total.
This means that 75% of x, or 0.75x is 12
Solve:
- 75% of x = 12
- 0.75x = 12
- x = 16
Now, 16 is the total number of pies. To find the number thrown out, we subtract 12.
16 - 12 = 4
4 pies were thrown out
