Answer:

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

5 miles in 80 km

Total distance = 120 km

120- 80= 40 km

80 km = 5miles

1 km = 5miles/ 80km

120 km = 5/80 * 120 km = 7.5 miles

This is called unitary method. First we find 1 km by dividing the miles with the number of km and then multiply the number of km to find the total number of miles.

Total distance = 120 km

120- 80= 40 km

if there are 5 miles in 80 km then there will be half of the miles in half of the km . So there will be 2.5 miles in 40 km .

So the total number of miles would be

40+80 km= 5+ 2.5 miles

120 km = 7.5 miles

Stels [109]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Yes, she has enough water.</u>

Explanation:

To <em>estimate</em> the value, you can work with friendly numbers: numbers closed to the given numbers and with which you can perform easy mental calculations.

For example 4.55 may be rouned to 5, 4.85 may be rounded to 5, and 3.25 may be rounded to 3. That yields 5 + 5 + 3 = 13

Then, it seems you have about 13 liters. Is the final number equal or greater than 12 for sure?

To round 4.55 to 5 you increased the amount in 0.45, to round 4.85 to 5 you increased the amount by 0.15, and to round 3.25 to 3 you decreased the amount in 0.25.

What was the net change in your values: 0.45 + 0.15 - 0.25 = 0.60 - 0.25 = 0.35. Those are easy calculations that you can perform in your mind.

That means that you increased your total in less than 1 liter. Meaning that the final total is overestimated by 0.35, and that if you used the real amounts to make the calculations, the total will be still more than 12.

Lyrx [107]
Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ =  }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}
