You know where the glacier is now, and how far it moves in
one year. The question is asking how close to the sea it will be
after many years.
Step-1 ... you have to find out how many years
Step-2 ... you have to figure out how far it moves in that many years
Step-3 ... you have to figure out where it is after it moves that far
The first time I worked this problem, I left out the most important
step ... READ the problem carefully and make SURE you know
the real question. The first time I worked the problem, I thought
I was done after Step-2.
============================
Step-1: How many years is it from 2010 to 2030 ?
(2030 - 2010) = 20 years .
Step-2: How far will the glacier move in 20 years ?
It moves 0.004 mile in 1 year.
In 20 years, it moves 0.004 mile 20 times
0.004 x 20 = 0.08 mile
Step-3: How far will it be from the sea after all those years ?
In 2010, when we started watching it, it was 6.9 miles
from the sea.
The glacier moves toward the sea.
In 20 years, it will be 0.08 mile closer to the sea.
How close will it be ?
6.9 miles - 0.08 mile = 6.82 miles (if it doesn't melt)
Answer:
55a=
step-by-step explanation:
Just divide 105 by 20
this gives you 5 5/20
this can then be reduced to 5 1/4
answer: 5 1/4
Answer:
(-3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is like putting a mirror on the y-axis. It is asking what point is the photo negative of the point, like a mirror. You see yourself in the mirror but everything is opposite. Your right hand is your left. So which point is the photo negative of (3, 7)? (-3, 7) Because it is only across the y-axis, the y value stays the same.
Answer:
<em><u>5/18</u></em> is not equivalent to 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
9/27, 2/6 and 15/45 are equivalent to 1/3.
