Call x the distance from home plate to second base.
There is a right triangle formed by homeplate, first base and second base. The sides of this triangle are 80 feet and 80 feet. The hypothenuse meets Pythagoras theorem:
x^2 = 80^2 + 80^2 = 2(80)^2
x = 80√2
Then the answer is the option D.
In order to calculate that, we need to divide it by 1/5 as follows:
60/100 / 1/5
We can re-write it as: 60/100 * 5 = 6/10 * 5 = 30/10 = 3
So, there are "3" 1/5ths in 60/100
Hope this helps!
Answer:
888.89 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the given question as an equation and solve.
80 km = 0.09 × (what distance)
(80 km)/0.09 = what distance . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable
888.89 km ≈ what distance
80 km is 9% of 888.89 km
