The answer is <span>252.5 ft
</span><span>y = –0.004x</span>²<span> + x + 2.5
Let's take y = 0 and we'll get the quadratic equation:
</span>–0.004x² + x + 2.5 = 0
The general formula for quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0
a = -0.004
b = 1
c = 2.5
Since distance cannot be negative (x1), the correct answer is x2 = 252.5 ft

Let's look at an example:
2.24 x 21.6
Do normal multiplication and get
48384 This is not correct, until we put the decimals in. To know how to do this, count the number of decimal spaces from the factors. In 2.24, there are 2, because .24. In 21.6 there are 1 because of .6. This mean three places, so 48384 becomes
48.384
