The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}

a construction worker has rope 9 m long he needs to cut it in pieces that are each 3 /5 m long how many such pieces can he cut w
lapo4ka [179]

Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process.  First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1".  It should look like 9/1.  Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.

Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5.  It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence.  Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5).  Your new fraction should be 27/5.  This is your answer in the improper fraction format.

You can create other formats depending on the expected answer.  For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5.  This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.

Greg builds a new pond which has a volume of 7.35 m3. It is 4.2 m long and 50 cm deep. What is the width of the pond?
Morgarella [4.7K]

volume = length x width x depth

50cm = 0.5 m

7.35 = 4.2 x 0.5 x X

7.35 = 2.1 x  X

x = 7.35 / 2.1

x = 3.5

width = 3.5 meters
