Answer:
6.36 years (the .36 repeats), so rounded is 6.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I'm going to convert all measurements to meters.
Since 1000 mm = 1 m, divide 44 by 1000.
44/1000 = 0.044 m
Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide 72 by 100.
72/100 = 0.72 m
Next, I'm going to setup an equation using y = mx + b.
b is the beginning amount which is 0.72.
m in the equation represents the rate which is 0.044.
y represents the total which is 1.
Plugin the numbers and solve for x.
1 = 0.044x + 0.72
1 - 0.72 = 0.044x + 0.72 - 0.72
0.28 = 0.044x
0.28/0.044 = 0.044x/0.044
6.36 = x
