8
round each number to the nearest 10, then
640 ÷ 80 = 8 ← estimate
6x+2 the answer should be this
Answer:1 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.
Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet
The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).
You want to use PEMDAS for this.
<em>P</em>= arenthesis ( )
<em>E</em>= xponents a²
<em>M</em>= ultiply ×
<em>D</em>= ivide ÷
<em>A</em>= dd +
<em>S</em>= ubtract -
What you want to do is go in order and ask yourself as you go.
Are there any <u><em>Parenthesis</em></u>? <em>No
</em>Are there any <u><em>Exponents</em></u><em />? <em>No</em>
Is there any <em /><u><em>Multiplication</em></u><em />? <em>Yes
</em><em />Is there any <em><u>Division</u></em>? <em>No
</em><em />Is there any <em><u>Addition</u></em>? <em>No
</em><em />Is there any <em><u>Subtraction</u></em><u />? <em>Yes</em><em>
</em><em />Thats when you stop and you multiply what you have in the PEMDAS. Top to bottom. 3x5 which gives you 15. Now you equation is 45-15. Thats when you subtract and you get your answer which is 30.
