You cross multiply/butterfly method so 5•6= 30 and 5•8=40 so it would be 30/40 OR 3/4 simplified
Boy record = 25 feet 8 inches
Girl record = 19 feet 19 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 25 feet 8 inches / 19 feet 19 inches
Change the feet into inches
1 feet = 12 inches
25 feet = 25* 12 = 300 inches + 8 inches = 308 inches
19 feet = 19 * 12= 228 inches + 19 inches = 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 308 inches / 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 1.246 inches
Boy record = 1.246 Girl record
So
it is 1.246 times greater than girls record.
If you would like to solve the inequality x - 5/x < 4, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>x - 5/x < 4
</span>x^2 - 5 < 4x
x^2 - 4x - 5 < 0
(x - 5) * (x + 1) < 0
x < 0
1. x = 5
2. x = -1
The correct result would be x = -1.
