Answer:
3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
create a proportion:
inches / miles = inches / miles
let 'x' = distance in inches
<u>1/4</u> = <u> x </u>
18 252
18x = 252(1/4)
18x = 63
x = 63 / 18
x = 3.5
Answer:
Martina is 53 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write an expression that relates the siblings heights we need to attribute variables to each brother. First we will call Martina's height as "m", then we can call her little brother's height as "b". The problem states that Martina's height is 3 inches less than twice the height of her brother so we have:
m = 2*b - 3
Then the problem gives us the height of her brother that is 28 inches tall, so b = 28. We can now compute Martina's height:
m = 2*28 - 3 = 56 - 3 = 53 inches.
1/7 of the dominoes will have the same number on both sides
Answer:
Which means that this equation is also true: 8/9 > 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Is 8/9 less than 1/9? Is 8/9 smaller than 1/9? These are the same questions with one answer.
To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:
8/9 = 0.889
1/9 = 0.111
Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.
0.889 is not less than 0.111.
Therefore, 8/9 is not less than 1/9 and the answer to the question "Is 8/9 less than 1/9?" is no.
