Alice and Claire's mom measure each of their heights in inches rounded to the nearest whole inch and she remarked wow Alice's height is exactly three fourths of Clarence height what are three different reasonable possibilities answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Claire's height be x while Alice's height be y.

Given:

y = 3/4 of x

= 3/4 x

Assume y = 48 in

x = 48 × 4/3

= 64 in

Assume y = 54 in,

x = 54 × 4/3

= 72 in

Assume y = 30 in

x = 30 × 4/3

= 40 in

Note try to keep the heights as realistic as possible hence the selected numbers.

d≈7.07in

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
