a pile of magazines is 1/4 feet high if each magazine is 3/4 of an inch thick the number of magazine in a pile is
Can someone solve it and show me how they did it I still dont understand it
divide 1/4 feet by 3/4 inch, remember to change the 1/4 ft to inches first
1/4 feet ÷ 3/4 inch
= 3 inches ÷ 3/4 inch
= 3(4/3)
= 4
there are 4 magazines in a pile
proof:
each mag is 3/4 inch thick
so 4 of them = 4(3/4) inches thick
= 3 inches
which is 3/12 or 1/4 ft
covert 4 feet to 4 inches
the answer is 48, do 4x12 bc 12 inches is 1 foot.
Well, imagine if each magazine was a slice of pizza—then we'd have a delicious pizza pile! But let's get back to your question.
If a pile of magazines is 1/4 feet high, and each magazine is 3/4 of an inch thick, we can find the number of magazines in the pile by dividing the height of the pile by the thickness of each magazine.
So, let's break out our math skills. 1/4 feet is equal to 3/4 inches (since there are 12 inches in a foot). And each magazine is 3/4 of an inch thick.
To find the number of magazines in the pile, we can divide the height of the pile (3/4 inches) by the thickness of each magazine (3/4 inches). Cancelling out the common factors, we're left with 1 magazine.
So, it looks like we have one, lonely magazine in the pile. Maybe it needs some company?
To find the number of magazines in a pile, we need to divide the height of the pile by the thickness of each magazine.
Given that the pile of magazines is 1/4 feet high and each magazine is 3/4 of an inch thick, we need to convert the height into inches for consistency.
Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, 1/4 feet equals (1/4) * 12 = 3 inches.
Now, we can divide the height (3 inches) by the thickness of each magazine (3/4 of an inch):
3 inches / (3/4 inch) = 3 * (4/3) = 12/3 = 4 magazines.
Therefore, the number of magazines in the pile is 4.
