Answer:
38cm taller
Step-by-step explanation:
jack is 178cm tall
the ladder is 280cm tall
jack standing on the ladder is 280cm taller
so 178+280=458
the tree is 420cm tall
458>420
which means that jack is now taller than the tree standing in the ladder
458-420=38
so jack is 38cm taller than the tree standing on the top of the ladder
the answer is 21ft because the total is 35feet so 35 - 14 = 21
Let us assume total capacity of the container = x pounds.
Container contains 1/6th coffee of total x pounds, that is x/6 pounds.
We also given that 1/6th part is equal to 2/3 of a pound.
So, we could setup an equation now.
x/6 pounds equals 2/3 of a pound.

Dividing both sides by 1/6, we get
÷
=
÷
.
Therefore, x =
÷
Division expression that represents the capacity of the container = 2/3 ÷ 1/6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
percent increase = increase divided by original number x 100
increase is the difference between the two numbers...
new number - original number.....4000 - 2800 = 1200
percent increase = (1200 / 2800) x 100
= 0.42857 (round to .4286) x 100
= 42.86 %.....if you need it rounded to the nearest percent, it would be 43% increase
