Which proportion could be ised to find the number of inches in 8 feet?
1:12::8:x
The following table shows how long it took sara yo pick tomatoes in the garden with her mother. On day 3 she pick 36 tomatoes . how many minutes did it take her if she picked at the same rate as the first two days.
To find the number of inches in 8 feet, we can use the proportion:
1 foot / 12 inches = 8 feet / x inches
In this proportion, 1 foot represents the number of inches in one foot (which is 12 inches), and x represents the number of inches in 8 feet, which is what we're trying to find.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
1 foot * x inches = 12 inches * 8 feet
Simplifying this equation:
x inches = 96 inches
Therefore, there are 96 inches in 8 feet.
