Answer:
James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall
Step-by-step explanation:
James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall. The first step will be to subtract 1 from his height;
1.63 - 1 = 0.63 meters
The 1 subtracted is equivalent to 1 meter. The next step is to convert the remaining height in meters to centimeters by multiplying by 100;
0.63 * 100 = 63 centimeters
We can thus say, James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall or equivalently 163 centimeters tall
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + x^2 = 13^2
144 + x^2 = 169
x^2 = 25
square root both sides
x = 5
to check, do 12^2 + 5^2 =169
sqrt of 169 is 13
hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
