Answer:

Imagine an easier version of this problem:  You have a board 5 feet long that you must cut (divide, right?) into two equal parts.  It is probably clear to you that you simply divide the length (5) by the number of parts you're dividing it into (2) to obtain the length of each piece (2.5 feet).

Use the same method for your problem 5 feet divided by 6 is 0.83 feet per piece.

We do not ordinarily divide feet into decimal portions, but instead into inches.  Since an inch is 1/12 of a foot, you could simply say 5/6 = how many twelfths?  or 5/6 = n/12  Solve this by inspection or by cross multiplying 5 times 12 equals n times 6.  So n must equal 10, and your pieces of board are each 10 inches long.

How many crores are there in 20 million​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 million = 2 crore

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you how to convert 20 million to crores (twenty million in crores). This may be useful if you for example want to convert 20 million rupees to crore rupees or 20 million dollars to crore dollars.

In some parts of the world like the United States, large numbers are separated with commas in three-digit-interval format like this:

...,BBB,MMM,TTT,HHH

BBB = billions

MMM = millions

TTT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

In certain parts of Asia, the format is a little different. From right to left, it starts out with three digits followed by a comma like the US, but after that, it is in intervals of two digits like this:

..,AA,CC,LL,TT,HHH

AA = arabs

CC = crores

LL = lakhs

TT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

Below we have displayed 20 million with the two number systems, based on the information above:

MM,TTT,HHH

20,000,000

=

C,LL,TT,HHH

2,00,00,000

When you match up 20 million with the C,LL,TT,HHH format above, you can see what 20 million is in crores. The answer to 20 million in crores is as follows:

20 million

= 2 crore

The scale for a map is 20 miles = 1/2 inch. The distance between two towns on the map is 3 3/4 inches. What is the actual distan
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!
