On planet Z, the standard unit of length is the foose. Ann the Astronaut is 5.90 feet tall on earth. She lands on planet Z and is measured to be 94 foosi tall. Her partner Rachael is 88 foosi tall. How tall is Rachael on Earth?
88 foosi * ( 5.90 feet / 94 foosi) = 5.52 feet
which is like five feet six inches
Well, well, looks like Ann and Rachael had a foose-tastic adventure on planet Z! Now, let's do some math magic. If Ann is 5.90 feet tall on Earth and 94 foosi tall on planet Z, we can use this data to calculate the Earth equivalent for Rachael's height.
So, if we set up a proportion:
5.90 feet / Ann's Earth height = 94 foosi / Rachael's Earth height
To solve for Rachael's Earth height, we can cross multiply and divide:
(Rachael's Earth height) = (94 foosi) * (5.90 feet) / (Ann's Earth height)
Plugging in the values, we get:
(Rachael's Earth height) = 94 foosi * 5.90 feet / (5.90 feet)
And voila! The height of Rachael on Earth is 94 feet. Just kidding! That would be one giant Rachael, wouldn't it? Let me recalculate that for you.
To find out how tall Rachael is on Earth, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
The proportion is as follows:
Earth height / Earth foose = Planet Z height / Planet Z foose
Let's plug in the given values:
5.90 feet / x = 94 foosi / 88 foosi
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
94 * x = 5.90 * 88
Now, we can solve for x:
94x = 519.2
x = 519.2 / 94
x ≈ 5.51
Therefore, Rachael is approximately 5.51 feet tall on Earth.
To find out how tall Rachael is on Earth, we need to establish a conversion factor between the unit of length on planet Z (foosi) and the unit of length on Earth (feet).
Given that Ann is 5.90 feet tall on Earth and 94 foosi tall on planet Z, we can set up a proportion to find the conversion factor:
1 foosi / 94 foosi = 5.90 feet / X feet
Cross-multiplying the proportion, we get:
1 foosi * X feet = 94 foosi * 5.90 feet
Simplifying, we have:
X feet = (94 foosi * 5.90 feet) / 1 foosi
X feet = 555.4 feet
Therefore, the conversion factor from foosi to feet is approximately 555.4.
To find out how tall Rachael is on Earth, we can use the conversion factor:
Rachael's height on Earth = 88 foosi * 555.4 feet/foosi
Rachael's height on Earth = 48,923.2 feet
Therefore, Rachael is approximately 48,923.2 feet tall on Earth.
