The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. The average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 3
00,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). A whale’s head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. A new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. The average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. A human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult. Calculate the following information:
How long is a whale’s head?
How long is a new baby whale?
How tall is the average man?
How much does the average man weigh?
How tall is the average human baby?
Whales head : 1/3(100) = 100/3 = 33.33 ft or 1/3(30) = 30/3 = 10 meters new baby whale : 1/4(100) = 100/4 = 25 ft. or 1/4(30) = 30/4 = 7.5 meters average man height : 1/17(100) = 100/17 = 5.88 ft or 1/17(30) = 30/17 = 1.76 m average man weight : 1/1818(300000) = 300000/1818 = 165 lbs or 1/1818(136000) = 136000/1818 = 74.81 kilograms human baby height : 1/4(5.88) = 5.88/4 = 1.47 ft or 1/4(1.76) = 0.44 meters
You need to find out how many problems Carl can do in a minute (unit rate), which is 20/55 or .36363636363. If you multiply it by 75 mins, you get 27.27, so the answer would be 27.
What are the statement options? If I had to guess it would be Jacqueline practiced 150 minutes all week and Cassie practiced 110 minutes so Jacqueline practiced more minutes in fewer sessions than Cassie.
