1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches
</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches
</span><span>by
the ratio and proportion
∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow
∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69
∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches
Answer:
(-2+-5) equals -7.
Because the signs are the same, we dont change it.
(3+5) equals 8. Same like the other equation, the signs are the same so we do not change it.
Now we do (-7+8) The answer will be 1. Lets use a little graph since its hard to explain.
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Mark -7 anyway you want. (Circle it, draw a line under it, what ever you want.)
Now Move the line 8 times.
When you do that your line will stop at 1.
And thats how you do it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2. 92 ounces of Sprite
3. 1/6 do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 6 hours playing volleyball
5. 32 portions
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Sam has 8 cans of Sprite. Each can is 11 2/4 ounces
We can simplify 2/4 to 1/2
Multiply the number of cans by the ounces per can
8 * 11 1/2
8 * 11.5
92 ounces
3. 1/2 of the students want ham. 1/3 of those do not want mustard
We multiply 1/2*1/3 = 1/6
1/6 of the students do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 8 hours at the beach. 3/4 of the time was spent playing volleyball
Multiply this together
8*3/4 = 8/4*3 = 2*3 = 6 hours
5. We have 4 lbs of wings. We divide it into 1/8 lbs parts
4 ÷ 1/8
Copy dot flip
4 * 8/1
32 portions
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find out if 1 bag of soil is enough to fill 1 container.
<u>Given:</u>
2/5 of a bag fills 1/3s of a containter.
With the given, multiplying 2/5 by 2.5 represents one. Multiply 1/3 by 2.5 aswell.
<u>Products:</u>
1, and 2.5/3 or 5/6
1 bag can fill 5/6 of a container.
Therefore, 1 bag can't fill 1 container.
