Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the scale used on the width:
New width / old width = 9/4 = 2.25
Multiply the original height by the scale:
6 x 2.25 = 13.5
Answer: 13.5 inches
Answer: 30 feet per second
========================================
x = diameter, y = speed of water
y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k
If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6
So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x
Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...
y = 3/x
y = 3/0.1
y = 30 feet per second
You should write numbers in as many ways as you possibly can to make new connections in your brain. Knowing how to write numbers in many different ways can help you solve complex problems more easily. Doing this can also reinforce the mathematical principles and logic you have memorised.
Writing one in many different ways:
1=1/1=2/2=3/3=4/4=(-1)/(-1)=(-2)/(-2)
=1.0=1.00=1.000=(1/2)+(1/2)=(1/3)+(1/3)+(1/3)
=(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)
Writing a half in many different ways:
1/2=(1/4)+(1/4)=(1/6)+(1/6)+(1/6)
=(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)=4*(1/8)
=2/4=3/6=4/8=5/10=0.5=0.50
etc...etc...
