Explain why the decimal moving strategy can be used with SI units but not with imperial units

Because SI units are structured around powers of 10, you can shift the decimal point to convert; imperial units lack that base-10 organization, so the decimal-shifting method doesn't apply.

There is a safety fence around a circular pool with a gate. The gate is 150 cm wide. What is the length of the fence not includi
zzz [12365]

Response:

The fence's length is expressed as 6.28x - 150 cm.

Detailed Breakdown:

Assuming the circular pool has a radius (r) of x cm.

As the pool is circular, its circumference represents the length of the fence. Additionally, subtracting the 150 cm for the gate gives us the actual length of the fence.

Length of fence = Circumference of pool – gate's width.

Length of fence = 2 π r – 150

Length of fence = 2 × 3.14 × x – 150

Therefore, the fence length is 6.28x – 150 cm.

lawyer [12517]
In the first month, she made a payment of $1451

In the second month, she paid one-third of that, which amounts to:
1451/3 = 483.66

For the third month, she pays one-third of 483.66 as indicated, meaning she takes one-third of the prior month's payment.

483.66/3 = 161.22

In the fourth month, her payment was

161.22/3 = 53.74

Altogether, her total payments amounted to:

$2149.62 - B.

Hope this information is helpful:)
