This question is all about dimensional analysis. The whole idea behind dimensional analysis is that you multiply a starting value with different conversion factors to cancel out units you don't want to tern the value into the units that you do want. The conversion for yards to feet can be written as 3 feet/yard (this is the conversion factor it can be written as 3feet/1yard or 1yard/3feet, it depends on what you are starting with). If you start out with yards and and want to go to feet you have to multiply the number of yards by 3feet/yard so that the yards cancel out leaving you with feet. If start out with feet and want to go to yards you divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard so that the feet cancel out and you are left with yards.
In your question Tom is trying to go from feet to yards. Therefore he has to divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard to get feet to cancel out. His mistake was that he multiplied by 3feet/yard instead of divide by 3feet/yard. The correct way do it is divide 379 feet by 3feet/yard to get 126.33 yards.
Let me know if anything is unclear to you in the comments. This is a very important skill to learn since this is the basis of many high school and college science classes.
I hope this helps.
All you have to do is just bring the numbers that are not zero from each digit.
so in this process, the answer you would get is 724,562.
I hope this helped
The answer would be 12.599
Answer:
The original price of her purchase was $65.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, you know that $13 represents 20% of the original price and you can use a rule of three to find the value that represents 100%, which would be the original pice of her purchase:
$13 → 20%
x ← 100%
x=(13*100)/20
x=1300/20
x=65
According to this, the answer is that the original price of her purchase was $65.
Answer:
8, 16, 64
Step-by-step explanation:
8 = 2^3 . . . a perfect cube
16 = 4^2 . . . a perfect square
32 = 2^5 . . . neither a cube nor a square
64 = 2^6 = 4^3 = 8^2 . . . both a perfect cube and a perfect square
128 = 2^7 . . . neither a cube nor a square
