3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1 or 4 1/2 inches
So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9 because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9 Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4 1/2 dollars. (Answer is 9)
So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same
8 4/9 x 9 = 8 4/9 x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1 or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Before we start, we want to find out the volume of a cone. Since we know it's 
Plugging in the numbers and solving, we get: 
So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.
