Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
John said he can find 38×10 by adding a 0 to the end of 38 to get 380. John finds 46.52×10 using the same method and gets 46.520.
For the first one that is, 38 × 10 = 380, John is correct. For the second one, that is, 46.52 × 10 = 46.520. John is incorrect. In this case, the first one is correct because John was multiplying by a whole number.
For the second one involving a decimal, John could have shifted the decimal point one place to the right and not add 0 to the end. Then he will get:
46.52 × 10 = 465.2
Answer: 12.5 in. high
Step-by-step explanation: to get from 4 to 10, you have to muliplty by 2.5.
if you multiply 5 by 2.5, the answer is 12.5
To find the average size of the bases, divide the area by 8.
144/8 = 18
Next, subtract 12 from 18 then add that number to 18 to find the other base's length.
18 - 12 = 6
18 + 6 = 24
The length of the base is 24.
