The answer would be d. 2,742
The reason for this being is because 2,742 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 2,700, but if you were to take the 2,612 rounded to the nearest hundred it would be 2,600. Also 2,742 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000.
Set up a proportion of acres to days. 1/2 acre is to 4 days as 2 3/4 acres is to x days.
x= # days to clear 2 3/4 acres
2 3/4 to improper fraction= 11/4
(1/2)/4 = (11/4)/x
cross multiply
(1/2 * x) = (4 * 11/4)
on the right, the 4 "cancels out"
1/2x= 11
divide both sides by 1/2
x= 11 ÷ 1/2
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal/inverse of 1/2
x= 11 * 2/1
x= 22 days
ANSWER: It would take 22 days to clear 2 3/4 acres.
Hope this helps! :)
The largest triangle and the triangle whose hypotenuse is x are similar. So:
(21 + 4)/x = x/4
Cross multiply:
x^2 = 100
x = 10
Your answer is incorrect. It should be 10, not 20.
