We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. . Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.
Answer:
Porter is inches taller than Henry.
Porter is times taller than henry.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in height can be found using subtraction.
Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.
n = Porter's height
m = Henry's height
Difference in height is thus:
Answer: Porter is inches taller than Henry.
To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.
An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.
If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...
..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.
Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.
Answer: Porter is times taller than henry.
