To protect her new two-wheeler, Iroda Bike
buys a length of chain. She finds that its
linear density is 0.61 lb/ft.
If she wants to keep its weight below 1.8 lb,
what length of chain is she allowed?
1.8/0.61 =2.95 ft
2.95
2.95
To find the length of chain Iroda is allowed, we can use the formula:
Weight = Linear Density * Length
We are given that the linear density of the chain is 0.61 lb/ft, and Iroda wants to keep the weight below 1.8 lb. Let's assume the length of the chain is L ft.
Putting these values into the formula, we have:
1.8 lb = 0.61 lb/ft * L ft
To find L, we can rearrange the equation and isolate L. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.61 lb/ft:
L ft = (1.8 lb) / (0.61 lb/ft)
Now, we can simplify the right side of the equation:
L ft = 2.95 ft
Therefore, Iroda is allowed a length of chain that is approximately 2.95 ft.
