36/42 = 6/7
5.9 × 10^24 = 5,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 minus
13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 equals
5,887,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
which is the amount greater that Earth's mass is. you could write this problem as
5.9 × 10^24 - 13 × 10^21 = 5.887 × 10^21
Answer: 3.6 feet per year
Pick any column and divide the feet over the years
eg: 7.2/2 = 3.6 (column 1)
You can think of it as the ratio
7.2 feet: 2 years
and then divide both sides by 2 to get "1 year" on the right side
7.2 feet: 2 years
7.2/2 feet: 2/2 years
3.6 feet: 1 year
