Answer:
add 5 then multiply by 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Twice a number is 2n.
The difference of twice a number and five 2n - 5.
The difference of twice a number and five is three. 2n - 5 = 3
2n - 5 = 3
2n - 5 + 5 = 3 + 5 (1) add 5
2n = 8
1/2*2n = 1/2*8 (2) multiply by 1/2
n = 4
Answer:
The Monument is taller than the child by 174.125 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The Monument in Santiago measures 175 meters. A child measures 87.5 centimeters.
Step 1
Convert child's height to meters
100cm = 1 m
87.5 cm = x
Cross Multiply
100cm × x = 87.5 cm × 1m
x = 87.5 cm × 1m/100cm
x = 0.875m
Step 2
How much is the Monument taller than the child?
This is calculated by subtracting Child's height from Monument height
= 175 m - 0.875m
= 174.125 m
Therefore, the Monument is taller than the child by 174.125 m
