Answer:
Explanation:
To find the length of the square on the chessboard, we can use the given ratio of square length to king's height.
Ratio: Square length / King's height = 2.5 inches / 4.5 inches
If the king's height is 2.25 inches, we can set up a proportion to find the corresponding square length:
Square length / 2.25 inches = 2.5 inches / 4.5 inches
Cross-multiplying, we get:
Square length = (2.25 inches * 2.5 inches) / 4.5 inches
Calculating this, we find:
Square length = 1.25 inches
Therefore, the length of the square on the chessboard would be 1.25 inches.
So, the correct answer to question 3 (multiple choice) would be: 1.25 inches.
