He fourth one: 4,5,6,7,8...if it has those two bars || it means absolute value which basically means if its negative you just change it to a posotive :)
Answer: Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data is:
Destin walked 2km
Jane walked 4000ft.
Let's write both of those in the same units.
The data given is:
1ft = 0.0003048km.
and 4000ft is 4000 times that:
4000ft = 4000*1ft = 4000*0.0003048km = 1.22km
Then if we add those, we get:
Total distance = 2km + 1.22km = 3.22km
So we can already discard option D.
Now, we know that:
1km = 0.6214 miles.
then 3.22 km is 3.22 times that amount:
3.22km = 3.22*1km = 3.22*(0.6214 mi) = 2 miles
The correct option is C.
2.3 is the other length
Hope this helps :)
BREAKDOWN
10 times: 10 ×
The sum of: ( ) + ( )
which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )
half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )
and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )
is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SIMPLIFICATION
Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12
which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12
bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12
Equals: 5x = 78
Find out X:. x = 78/5
FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9
