A glacier moves 152 ft a year how many inches a day does it move (hint 356 days in a year)
2 answers:
Have you done dimensional analysis? This is the perfect time to use it. You simply write the problem as a fraction: 152 ft / 1 yr. Then you multiply it by conversion factors until you get the units you want (in/day).
Then you simply multiply across (I hope I added the picture correctly).
You should get 4.997 inches in a day. (You should probably round the answer up to 5, but it depends on what your teacher is asking for.)

Answer:
A) gallons
B) Distance between Town A and Town B is miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
We know, number of gallons =
if miles per gallon (mpg) is given as 24 & total distance travelled is 3x miles, then, using formula we have:
Number of Gallons =
B)
Now, given is number of gallons = 2y & we know mpg is 24; <em>so what is the distance?</em>
We use the same formula and solve for distance (let distance between A and B be "D"):
