Example Question #1275 : Linear Equations
Imagine a group of greenhouse architects decides to create a new system of measurement for designing greenhouses.
The new system consists of Stems and Panes.
In designing the top of a square greenhouse, the architects need to build sides that are 14 Vines in length. How many meters long will each of the sides be?
To find the number of meters required, simply multiply the number of Vines (14) by the converstion factor of Vines to Panes (4).
Then multiply the result by the conversion factor of Panes to Stems (8).
The last step is to multiply this answer by the conversion factor of Stems to meters (.05).
Example Question #1275 : Algebra 1
Convert 15 feet into yards.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 3 feet per 1 yard.
In order to have yards left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1276 : Algebra 1
Convert 16 quarts into gallons.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 4 quarts per 1 gallon.
In order to have gallons left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
Example Question #1277 : Algebra 1
Convert 36 inches to feet.
To solve this conversion we have to remember that there are 12 inches per 1 foot.
In order to have feet left as our unit, we need to make sure that the other units cancel out by one being in the numerator and one being in the denominator.
Therefore, set up the following conversion and solve:
