A woman who is 64 inches tall has a shoulder width of 16 inches. How tall is a woman who has a shoulder width of 18.5 inches?

1 answer:

7 0

If we turn this to a ratio we get 64:16 and we need ?:18.5. To easily solve this we would divide 64 by 16 and 64/16= 4 now that we know that the shoulder width is 1/4 if a persons height we can then multiply 18.5 by 4 to find the woman’s height. 18.5x4=74
So your answer is 74 inches

762,508 in expanded form using exponents is given as:

$7 \times 10^5 + 6 \times 10^4 + 2 \times 10^3 + 5 \times 10^2 +0 \times 10^1 + 8 \times 10^0$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that we have to write 762, 508 in expanded form using exponents

Expanded form or expanded notation is a way of writing numbers to see the math value of individual digits

<h3><u>Write 762508 in Expanded form</u></h3>

Let us first find the place value of digits

Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number.

Place value of 7 = 700000

In 762508, 7 is in hundred-thousands place

Place value of 6 = 60000

In 762508, 6 is in ten-thousands place.

Place value of 2 = 2000

In 762508, 2 is in thousands place

Place value of 5 = 500

In 762508, 5 is in hundreds place

Place value of 0 = 0 x 10 = 0

In 762508, 0 is in tens place

Place value of 8 = 8

In 762508, 8 is in ones place

Therefore, the expanded form is given as:

700,000 + 60,000 + 2,000 + 500 + 0 + 8

<u><em>Using exponents we can write as,</em></u>

$7 \times 10^5 + 6 \times 10^4 + 2 \times 10^3 + 5 \times 10^2 +0 \times 10^1 + 8 \times 10^0$
