A table measures 3 feet across. How many inches is this?
My Answer-36

Answer 1

The corresponding answers to the questions are 9.625 cm² , 459, 304.5m², 1 : 3 , 3:4 , 10,000 pounds , 36 inches.

Explanation:

1.

Area of triangle = 0.5 x base length x height

Here base length = 5.5cm and height = 3.5cm

So area will be 0.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm² = 9.625 cm²

2.

919/2 rounding off to nearest whole

We know that the value of 919/2 = 459.5 .

So the nearest whole number value to which it can be rounded off is 459.

3.

We know that area of parallelogram is base length x height

Here, base length =14.5m and height = 21m

So area = 14.5 x 21 m² = 304.5m²

4.

No. of grilled cheese sandwiches sold = 200

No. of tacos sold = 100

No. of grilled chicken salads sold = 150

Total lunches sold = 200 + 100 + 150 = 450

So, ratio of chicken salads to lunches sold is 150 : 450 = 1 : 3

5.

Given number : 7,208,631

Odd digits here - 7,3,1 - 3 digits

Even digits here - 2,0,8,6 - 4 digits

So, ratio of odd digits to even digits is 3:4

6.

One ton = 2000 pounds

So 5 tons = 5 x ( 1 ton) = 5 x 2000 pounds = 10,000 pounds

7.

Table length = 3 feet

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches

So table length = 3 foot = 3 X 12 inches = 36 inches
