Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The enormous sinkhole that appeared in the middle of Guatemalan neighborhood in the year 2010 swallowed a three story building above it and the sinkhole has an estimated depth of about 100 feet
How much material is needed to fill the sinkhole?
Then , the material needed to fill the sinkhole will be dependent on the volume of the sinkhole.
Determine what information is needed to answer the question.
The information that is needed to answer this question are:
the base area of the sinkhole will be required; &
the height should also be known
if the base area is determined then we can proceed to determine how much material is needed to be calculated.
Do you think your estimate is more likely to be too high or too low
No, the estimate is not likely to be too high or too low rather the estimate of the material required will be almost equal to the volume of the sinkhole, but that does not implies that it will be exactly the same since the sinkhole is not uniform and regular in shape.
This means making the fraction reduced to its lowest term
example=
make the fraction 18xz/4z simpler
the z cancels each other making it remaining 18x/4
2 can go in x as in 18
=9x/2
so the simpler form of the fraction 18xz/4z
=9x/2
4.6 - 3.9= .7cm which is 7mm
First convert the fractions into inpropper fractions by takeing the denominator and multiplying it by the whole number blus the nummerator. For 3(1/2) it becomes 7/2 and for 1(1/2) it becomes 3/2. Then multiply the fractions 7/2 x 3/2 = 21/2 now make it a mixed fraction so the answer is 2(1/2)
