Given:
A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree and flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.
To find:
The length of the tree.
Solution:
A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree.
Vertical distance between bird and base = 16 feet
Then the bird flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.
Now, the vertical distance between bird and base = (16+20) feet
So, length of the oak tree is it the sum of 16 feet and 20 feet.
feet
feet
Therefore, the length of the oak tree is 36 feet.
Answer:
7,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by calculating how many students the university accepts. The problem says they accept 60% of the students. 60% as a decimal is 0.6. To calculate 60% of something, you multiply .60 by whatever quantity. In this case, it would be the students.
Number of accepted students = = 18,000
The university accepts 18,000 students.
Now, the next problem is that of those accepted students, we need to find out how many actually enroll. The problem says they accept 40% of the accepted students. Applying the same principle,
Number of enrolled students = = 7,200
The number of students that actually enroll is 7,200.
Alternatively, would give you the same result.
Combining the pieces together, we are asking for 60% of 30,000. Then getting 40% of that 60%.
