Using the concept of proportionality we shall solve for the unknown altitude as follows:
let the measure of the altitude be x:
24/16=x/6
solving for x we get:
x=24/16*6
x=9 feet
Answer: 9 feet
Answer: An armistice is a truce, typically used in wars to stop the fighting, battles, etc. Also a holiday in France.
So 5.10 is 100% and 0.57 is x%
percent means parts out of 100
5.10/100%=0.57/x% since they are equal (exg 2/4=3/6)
5.10/100=0.57/x
multipy both sides by x/0.57 to clear fraciton
(5.1x)/57=1
multiply both sides by 57 to get rid of the denomeator (bottom number
5.1x=57
divde both sides by 5.1
x=11.1765
increase of 11.2%
( an easy way is (0.57/5.1) times 100)
