Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two mixed numbers and are asked to multiply them together.
2 1/4 * 1 2/3
First we convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions to make it easier for us. So follow the MA rule.
Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.
2 1/4 * 1 2/3
9/4 * 5/3
Now multiply across,
Now we need to convert this back into a mixed number.
So how many times does 45 go into 12?
3 times, and 3 are left.
Answer:
73 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A rope from the top of a pole is anchored to the ground which is 55 ft away from the base of the pole.
The pole is 48 ft tall.
Question asked:
What is the length of the rope?
Solution:
Here we found that a right angle triangle is formed in which base and height is given <u>as shown in the figure, </u>we have to find the longest side of the triangle,
Base = 55 feet
Height = 48 feet
Length of the rope = ?
By Pythagoras theorem:
Square of longest side = Square of base + Square of height
Taking root both side
Thus, length of the rope is 73 feet.
