Use the ratio 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09 yards. Martha runs 1,000 meters in a race. How many yards does Martha run? (1 point)
1,090
O 1.009
109
1.900
The correct answer is 1,090. Applying the given ratio, 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09 yards. Therefore, to find the equivalent number of yards for 1,000 meters, you multiply 1.09 by 1,000:
1.09 * 1,000 = 1,090
So, Martha runs 1,090 yards in the race.
To convert meters to yards using the given ratio, we multiply the number of meters by the ratio 1 meter is approximately equal to 1.09 yards.
So, to find out how many yards Martha runs, we multiply the distance she runs in meters (1,000) by the ratio:
1,000 meters * 1.09 yards/meter = 1,090 yards.
Therefore, Martha runs 1,090 yards in the race.
To find out how many yards Martha runs in 1,000 meters, we can use the given ratio of 1 meter being approximately equal to 1.09 yards.
First, we'll set up a proportion to solve for the unknown yards. The proportion will be:
1 meter / x yards = 1,000 meters / y yards
We want to find the value of y, which represents the number of yards Martha runs. We know that x = 1 meter and y = unknown.
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
1 meter * y yards = 1,000 meters * x yards
Simplifying the equation, we get:
y yards = (1,000 meters * x yards) / 1 meter
Since x = 1 meter, we can substitute it into the equation:
y yards = (1,000 meters * 1.09 yards) / 1 meter
Multiplying 1,000 meters and 1.09 yards gives us:
y yards = 1,090 yards
Therefore, Martha runs 1,090 yards in the race.
The correct answer is option: 1,090.
