Answer:

Mandy is 1.613 m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider

Mary is A, Misa is B and Mandy is C

According to question,

A + B + C = 4.84 m...... (i)

From qsn

9 cm/0.009 m

= 9 cm/ 0.9 cm

= 10 cm

= 0.1 m

Then, A is 0.1 m shorter than B

i.e. A= B - 0.1 m

Also, B is 0.05 m taller than C

i.e B = C + 0.05m

We have to find height of C ( Mandy)

From eqn (i)

C = 4.84 - B - A

or, C = 4.84 - (C + 0.05) - ( B - 0.1)

or, C = 4.84 - C - 0.05 - B + 0.1

or, 2C = 4.89 - B

or, 2C = 4.89 - ( C + 0.05)

or, 2C = 4.89 - C - 0.05

or, 3C = 4.84

or, C = 4.84/3

or, C = 1.613 m

Hello!

Let’s start by assigning variables to each of the girls’ heights.

Mary=x

Misa=y

Mandy=z

Now, we know that Misa is 0.05 m taller than Mandy. Therefore we can say y (Misa’s height)= z (Mandy’s height) +0.05

Y=z+0.05


We also know that Mary is 0.009m shorter than Misa. Therefore, she must be 0.041 m taller than Mandy. We know this because Misa is 0.05 m taller than Mandy, and Mary is 0.009 meters shorter than Misa (0.05-0.009)= 0.041 Based on our determined variables, we can write this as:

X=z+0.041

OR REWRITTEN TO SOLVE FOR Z

Z=x-0.041

Finally, we know that the heights of all three girls are equal to 4.84 meters:

X+y+z=4.84


Let’s solve! Plug the second equation, solved for z, into the first equation.

Y= (x-0.041) +0.05

Now, let’s plug that in for “y” and the second equation in for “z” in the final equation:

X+ ((x-0.041) +0.05)+ (x-0.041)= 4.84

Solve for X:

1.624

Plug that number in for “X” in the second equation to get Mandy’s height (z)

Z=x-0.041

Z= 1.624-0.041


Mandy’s height is 1.583 m

I know this is a little confusing, but I hope this helped! If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I can help clarify!

scoundrel [369]
Speed is the ditance traveled by a certain object given a certain time span. To solve this problem we need to divide the distance by the time given. Before that, the problem asked us to get the speed in terms of miles per minute and we are given a distance of 3 kilometer. We have to convert this to miles. 3km(0.6miles/km) = 1.8 miles. The speed is then 1.8/20 = 0.09mi/min.
