Question

A 2 cm long grasshopper can jump 160cm. If a 6 m tall animal had the same jump ratio, how far it could jump????????

Answer 1

480 m

Explanation:

You can set up a ratio to find the answer.

`(2 \: cm)/(160 \: cm) = (6 \: m)/(x \: m)`

Then we can cross multiply to solve for x.

`2x = 690`

Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to find x.

`x = 480 \: m`
