Question

Ten years ago, Rapunzel's hair was 19 long. Now her hair is 20193 long. Approximately how many times as long is Rapunzel's hair now as it was ten years ago?

Answer 1

Rapunzel's hair is approximately 1063 times longer now , than it was 10 years ago .

Explanation:

Given as :

The length of Rapunzel's hair 10 years ago = 19 unit

The length of Rapunzel's hair after 10 years = 20193 unit

Let the number of times the length of his hair now than 10 years ago = x

So, According to question

∴ x times 19 = 20193

Or, x × 19 = 20193

Or, x =
`(20193)/(19)`

I.e x = 1062.78

or, x = 1062.78 ≈ 1063 times

Hence Rapunzel's hair is approximately 1063 times longer now , than it was 10 years ago . answer
