<h2>19.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
- window width and height are in proportion to building width and height
- window width and height are 11 in and 18 in, respectively
- building height is 108 ft
<h3>Find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
The proportional relation can be written as
... (building width)/(building height) = (window width)/(window height)
Multiplying by (building height) gives
... (building width) = (building heigh) × (window width)/(window height)
... (building width) = 108 ft × (11 in)/(18 in)
... building width = 66 ft
<h2>21.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
- map distance = 6.75 in
- map scale = 1.5 in : 5 mi
<h3>Find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
The distances are in proportion, so
... (map distance) : (actual distance) = 1.5 in : 5 mi
Multiplying by (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(actual distance), we have
... (5 mi)/(1.5 in)×(6.75 in) = (actual distance) = 22.5 mi
Our final answer must represent "number of mosquitos." This verifies that the correct calculation would be
1000 mosquitos 10.5 hours
----------------------- x --------------------
1 hour 1
Multiply this out. Note that "hours" will cancel.
Whats your result?
Supposing that your result looked like xxxxx times 10^0,
you'd convert this into scientific notation by moving the decimal place four units to the left (obtaining x.xxx) and then increasing the exponent of 10 from zero to four (obtaining 10^4).
Then your answer would have the form x.xxx times 10^4 (mosquitos)
Work= forcexdistance
force=55x10(or 9.8 depending on which gravitational field strength you use)
force= 550N
work = 550x0.2
work= 110J
six steps=110x6=660J
