Answer: 4.1 feet : 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Bradley estimated the height of a tree at 2.5 meters. Carla estimated that tree's height at 8 feet.

The conversion ratio be used to compare Bradley's and Carla's estimates of the tree's height when measured in feet goes thus:

Since 1 feet = 0.305 meters

2.5 meters will be = 2.5/0.305 = 8.2 feet

Therefore the conversion ratio will be:.

= 8.2 : 8

Reducing to lowest term will be

= 4.1 feet : 4 feet.

= 4.1 : 4

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Bulb box and carton both are of cuboidal shape.

For bulb box the dimensions are:

l = 5 cm, w = 4 cm, h = 4 cm

$V_{Bulb\: box} =lwh$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =5(4)(4)$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =80\: cm^3$

For Carton the dimensions are:

l = 50 cm, w = 20 cm, h = 20 cm

$V_{Carton} =lwh$

$\implies V_{Carton} =50(20)(20)$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =20,000\: cm^3$

To find the number of bulbs packed in the carton, divide the $V_{Carton}$ by $V_{Bulb\: box}$

$Number \:of \:bulbs =\frac{V_{Carton}}{V_{Bulb\: box}}$

$\implies Number \:of \:bulbs =\frac{20,000}{80}$

$\implies Number \:of \:bulbs = 250$

So, 250 bulbs will be packed in one carton.

defon

Unfortunately there was no choice in which we can choose our answer to this item. However, looking into the situation given in this item, it may be deduced that the distance traveled by the elevator after 15 seconds is equal to 70 ft. The rate of change in elevation of the elevator is therefore 70ft/15s which is also equal to 4.67 ft/s.
