Suppose a tortoise is 2100 feet from the ocean. Each day the tortoise travels one-tenth of the remaining distance to the ocean. (i) Which of the following models could be used to predict the distance that the tortoise must travel to reach the ocean? A. (910)x(910)x B. 2100(910)x2100(910)x C. (2100)x(2100)x D. [2100(910)]x[2100(910)]x (ii) Use your model to compute the remaining distance to ocean after 6 days of travel. (Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a foot.)
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
