the ? says "the apatosaurus dinosaur averaged 70 ft. in length. This is 2800% of the avearage length of a Compsognathus dinosaur. what was the average length of the Compsognathus?(if necessary round to the nearest hundreth") i think its proportion. {part over whole = % over 100. thanks

would i put 2800 over 10000, and put 70 over x? confused

never mind i got it

Yes, you are correct. This problem can be solved using proportions.

Let's represent the average length of the Compsognathus dinosaur as "x".

According to the given information, the Apatosaurus dinosaur is 2800% of the average length of the Compsognathus dinosaur. Mathematically, we can write this as:

70 ft = (2800/100) * x

To solve for "x", we need to isolate it. Divide both sides of the equation by (2800/100):

70 ft / (2800/100) = x

Now, simplify the right side:

70 ft * (100/2800) = x

Calculating this expression, we get:

2.5 ft = x

Therefore, the average length of the Compsognathus dinosaur is approximately 2.5 feet.
