Answer:
Part A: The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot
Part B: The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
# Part A:
- There were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 feet
- The cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper
- That means there is no empty spaces between the cars
* To find the average length of the car we will divide the length of
the line by the numbers of the cars
∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars
∵ The length of the line is 567 feet
∵ The numbers of the cars is 62 cars
∴ The average car length = 567/62 = 9.1 feet
* The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot
# Part B:
- There are 1000 cars
- We need to find the length of line which contained the cars
∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars
∵ The average of car length is 9.1 feet
∵ The number of the cars is 1000 cars
∴ 9.1 = length of the line/1000
- Multiply both sides by 1000
∴ The length of the line = 9.1 × 1000 = 9100 feet
∴ The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars
