Height of the flagpole = x
distance from flagpole to the mirror = 48 ft
height of Michele = 5 ft
distance from Michele to the mirror = 12 ft

Now, set the proportion.

x/48 = 5/12
48 * x/48 = 5/12 * 48
x = 240/12
x = 20

So, the height of the flagpole is 20 ft.

Convert 1 cal/(m^2 * sec * °C) into BTU/(ft^2 * hr * °F)

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Convert $1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}$ into $\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Solution :

We convert units one by one,

$1\text{ m}^2=10.7639\text{ ft}^2$

$1\text{ sec}=\frac{1}{3600}\text{ hour}$

$1\text{ cal}=0.003968\text{ BTU}$

Converting temperature unit,

$^\circ C\times \frac{9}{5}+32=^\circ F$

$1^\circ C\times \frac{9}{5}+32=33.8^\circ F$

So, $1^\circ C=33.8^\circ F$

Substitute all the values in the unit conversion,

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=\frac{0.003968}{10.7639\times \frac{1}{3600}\times 33.8}\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=\frac{0.003968}{0.101061}\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Therefore, The conversion of unit is $1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Bernice estimated that 69% of 242 is 168. Is her estimate reasonable?

ycow [4]

Her estimate is not reasonable.

Since she estimated 69%, you could do either of these options. You could...
A. Divide 242 (or .5) to show how much half off would be, then compare her estimate with half of 242 (121). OR...
B. Simply divide 242 by 69% (.69) and compaor her estimate to the exact amount (166.98).

I hope this helps!
