To solve this problem, we are going to use a method called dimensional analysis. This involves canceling out units by multiplying by fractions equivalent to 1. We begin with our given information, that the jet flies 500 miles in one hour, and we multiply that by the fraction 1 hour/60 minutes, which is equivalent to 1. We also have to multiply by 1 minute/60 seconds, because we are looking for the amount of miles the jet flies in seconds.
500 miles/1 hour * 1 hour/60 minutes * 1 minute/60 seconds = 500 miles/3,600 seconds
Now that we have our equivalent in seconds, we must multiply by 10 seconds in order to find our answer.
500 miles/3,600 seconds * 10 seconds = approximately 1.3888 miles
Therefore, the jet flies about 1.39 miles in 10 seconds.
Hope this helps!
I believe what the problem means is that the height of the child, if he/she grows in height, the mesurements are equal to 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, etc only. and no decimals or fractions in between. it is also said that a human stops growing at the age of 20 naturally, hence with this increment, a child can grow incredibly very tall.
