6 0

<u><em>Matteo is 4 inches taller than Nico. </em></u>

<u><em>Sarah is wrong because she didn't consider the conversion rate from ft to inches. </em></u>

Height of Matteo = 4 feet 3 inches

Height of Nico = 3 feet 11 inches.

Now to find the difference in height, we need to first convert both of their heights to inches.

From conversion tables, we know that;

12 inches = 1 ft.

Height of Matteo = (4 × 12) + 3 = 51 inches

Height of Nico = (3 × 12) + 11 = 47 inches

Thus, difference in height = 51 - 47 = 4 inches.

Thus, Matteo is 4 inches taller than Nico.

Looking at the method of Sarah, she didn't consider that the unit she was working with. If it was just units and tens subtraction, that method would have worked but she ought to have added 12 to 3 since it is from ft to inches instead of 10 to 3 as in the case of regular numbers without units.

The answer would be 2. This is because inverse means opposite, and since f(x)=-2, then that means the inverse would be 2.

Answer:

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers is 11 : 7, or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 7 ushers and 11 technicians helping at the Harper Middle School fall play.
Let x be the number of ushers ( or helpers ).
Therefore x=7 helpers.
Let y be the number of technicians.
Therefore y=11 technicians.

<h3>To find the ratio of technicians to all helpers :</h3>

That is to find the ratio of y to x.

We can write the ratio of technicians to all ushers(helpers) as y : x

Which implies that 11 : 7, (since y=11 and x=7)

Or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers is 11 : 7, or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7</h3>
