Question

26. Higher Order Thinking A mother

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Hence the Baby Manatee is 4 feet long.

b) Hence the Length of blue whale is 108 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of Mother manatee = 12 feet.

Now given that:

A mother  manatee is three  times as long as her baby manatee.

Let the length of baby manatee be 'x'.

So equation can be framed as

$3x=12$

hence the equation is $3x=12$.

Solving the equation we get;

Dividing both side by 3 using Division property of equality we get;

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}\\ \\x=4\ feet$

a) Hence the Baby Manatee is 4 feet long.

Solving for part b we get;

Given:

If a blue whale is 9 times as long as the  mother manatee

Hence equation can be framed as;

Length of blue whale is = $9 \times \textrm{Length of Mother manatee}$

Length of blue whale is = $9\times 12 =108\ feet$

b) Hence the Length of blue whale is 108 feet.
