A school has a new flag that must be flown at least 52 feet high. The current flagpole is 14.5m tall How many meters taller does the new flagpole need to be? Round to the nearest tenth (one meter is about 328 feet)

Do it the same way we showed you before.

Ms sue it give me 11.22

The answer choices are ??

11.5m

1.4m

0.4m

4.5m

52/3.28 = 15.85 meters

15.9 - 14.5 = ______ m

Thank you ms.sue

You're welcome, Jenny.

To find out how many meters taller the new flagpole needs to be, we can convert the height of the flagpole in feet to meters first.

We know that one meter is approximately equal to 328 feet. Therefore, to convert feet to meters, we can divide the given height in feet by 328.

Given that the current flagpole is 14.5m tall, we can convert this to feet by multiplying it by 328:

14.5m * 328ft/m ≈ 4756 ft

Now we can find how much taller the new flagpole needs to be by subtracting the height of the current flagpole from the required height of at least 52 feet:

52 ft - 4756 ft ≈ 0 ft

Since the required height is already greater than the height of the current flagpole, the new flagpole does not need to be taller. Thus, the difference is approximately 0 meters.
