Answer:
(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)
Step-by-step explanation:
A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.
You have units of miles. You know that ...
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.
Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:
(12 inches)/(1 foot)
When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.
_____
With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...
(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet
or
(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.
If there are 36 potato plants, and they are in 4 even rows, that means that there is 9 in each column because 9 x 4 is 36. Since 7 of them were eaten by the sheep and the goat, that means that there are 2 leftover in that row that the sheep and goat got to since 9-7 is 2.
Answer:-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 5 from each side, which leaves you with 3x=-12. Then divide each side by 3. Then that leaves you with x=-4
0.26
or
13/50
Hope this helped. Have a great day!
