Answer:
There are <u>72 inches</u> in 6 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There are 12 inches in 1 foot.
Jada is working on improving her vertical jump.
Currently, her standing reach is 6 feet from the ground.
Now, to find the inches in 6 feet.
Let the inches in 6 feet be
As given:
In 1 foot there are 12 inches.
<em>So, 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.</em>
<em>Thus, 6 feet is equivalent to </em><em />
Now, to find using cross multiplication method:
<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>
So, the inches in 6 feet = 72.
Therefore, there are 72 inches in 6 feet.
Answer:
40 students
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is given the ratio ( 8 : 3 ), since a ratio is another way of writing a fraction one can rewrite it as; (8) represent the number of students who want to learn about magnets, and (3) represents the number of students who want to learn about magic tricks.
In the problem, it is also given that 25 more students wanted to learn about magnets compared to magic tricks. If one uses the parameter (x) to represent the factor by which the fraction is reduced, then one can get the equation;
8x = 3x + 25
Use inverse operations to solve,
8x = 3x + 25
-3x
5x = 25
/5
x = 5
Substitute back in to find out how many students want to learn about magnets,
8x
= 8(5)
= 40
