How can conversion of measurements help me solve real world problems

Mathematics
1 answer:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago
6 0
In different parts of the world people use different units. Being able to convert will help me understand and fit into their surroundings. Like for instance in Canada people measure speed in kilometers, so their speed limits are written in kmph. While in America the speed is measured in miles so Mph. Knowinf=g the conversions can help you drive safely and not get a ticket.
Hope that was what you were expecting.

Find the area of the shaded region.<br> help pls
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1. 50 m

2. 80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There are 2 triangles, subtract the area of 1 of them from the other.

The triangle that needs to be subtracted: b = 20 m, h = 10 m

A = 1/2b * h = 1/2(20) * 10 = 10*10 = 100 m

The big triangle, the one that needs to be subtracted plus the one you need to find the area of: b = 20 cm, h = 15 cm, 1/2(20) * 15 = 10 * 15 = 150

150 - 100 = 50 c

2. Divide it into 3 parts:

1- 3*4 = 12

2. 7*(4 + 4) = 7*8 = 56

3. [(4 + 4) * (13 - 7 - 3)]/2 = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12

12 + 56 + 12 = 80 cm

which shows the students in order from greatest test score to lease test score Alex 0.95 Octavia 16/20 Tonya 9/10 Wilson 0.87 ​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to convert all of the scores into either a decimal or a fraction. In this case, I will be solving all of them into decimals since it is easier.

Alex: 0.95

Octavia: 16/20 = 0.80

Tonya: 9/10 = 0.90

Wilson: 0.87

Therefore, we can order these from greatest score to least score.

Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)

A private jet can fly 1,095 miles in 3 hours with a tailwind but only 987 miles in 3 hours into a headwind find the speed of the
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The speed of the jet is 347 mph and the  speed of the wind is 18 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

x = the speed of the jet in still air.

y = the speed of the wind

we know that the speed is equal to:

v = d / t

therefore the distance would be:

d = v * t

if we replace with the information of the exercise we have:

3 * (x + y) = 1095

3 * (x - y) = 987

we must solve this system of equations, add both equations and we are left:

3 * x + 3 * y = 1095

3 * x - 3 * y = 987

3 * x + 3 * y + 3 * x - 3 * y = 1095 + 987

6 * x = 2082

x = 2082/6 = 347

now to calculate y, we replace:

3 * (347 + y) = 1095

1041 + 3 * y = 1095

3 * y = 1095 - 1041

y = 54/3 = 18

The speed of the jet is 347 mph and the  speed of the wind is 18 mph.
