<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

84\ inches

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

36\ inches

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

\$10.5

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

 we know that

<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

\$4+\$7=\$11

\$11 > \$10------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> \$11-\$10=\$1

therefore

<u>the answer part 3) is</u>

She needs  \$1 more

How many lines of symmetry does a regular decagon have?<br><br> 8<br><br> 10<br><br> 11<br><br> 12
bixtya [17]
The number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry.

So, a regular decagon would have 10 lines of symmetry.
