OpenStudy (youngstudier):

*Tilts head to side to read it* Conversion factors? What conversion factors?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Google :D

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I dunno what conversion factors they're prattling on about, but logic would dictate that you multiply the number of hours in a day by the number of days, and then add the 15h and 30m.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

For the first question ^

jabez177 (jabez177):

I have to explain it. D:

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

D: omg whai Explanations are the worst

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Uhmm, let's see....

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Literally, I would just make this looooong drawn out explanation by explaining how you calculated the number of hours that it takes Mercury to complete a full rotation <-- Typically what I do with my math. So it would take Mercury *Insert number of hours here* to complete a full rotation as it takes it 58 days, 15h, and 30m, and since there are 24 hours in each day, then blah blah blah....

jabez177 (jabez177):

Earth 24hrs Mercury 58 days, 15hrs, 30min 1 day = 24 58 x 24 = 1,392 1,392 +15 = 1,407+30min 1,407.5

jabez177 (jabez177):

Right?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I believe so, yes. Would you like me to attempt to help you with the other questions as well or no?

jabez177 (jabez177):

YESSS PLEASE! With le explanations :')

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Mker. So for the second question, part A. Answer me this: How many inches are in a foot? ^ This is key to the entire problem

jabez177 (jabez177):

12

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Correct, so the weird weed can grow up to 0.5 feet in a day. Since 0.5 ft is equal to 1/2 a foot, how many inches would be in 1/2 a foot?

jabez177 (jabez177):

6

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Right, so the mile-a-minute weed can grow up 6 inches in a day. That's part A's answer.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Now on to Part B How do you think we should go about solving it?

jabez177 (jabez177):

I need le explanation'

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Oh my Godddddddddd WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO IN ORDER TO SOLVE PART B OF QUESTION 2 ALL DAT I AM ASKING, MAN.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Idk lol sorry, hold up i'm writing down my first answer

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Mk

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Do you have any sort of guess as to what we could do to solve it or no?

jabez177 (jabez177):

12 inches per an hour so we divide?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Question: Why 12 inches per hour?

jabez177 (jabez177):

cuz how many inches it's asking so we have feet .5 feet so that's 6 inches so how many in inches oer a day can a mile OHH WAIT I JUST GOT MY ANSWER! 6 inches in one day! right?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

That would be correct for part A, yes. But what about for Part B?

jabez177 (jabez177):

6 incehs as well

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Ehhhh, not quite

jabez177 (jabez177):

brb real quick

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

mk, but 6 inches in a day We're trying to find out how many inches in an HOUR.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

@jabez177

jabez177 (jabez177):

Okay so how do i do part a again? let's do this again haha

jabez177 (jabez177):

I'm not more focused. :)

jabez177 (jabez177):

now* @YoungStudier

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

We figured out for part A that the answer was 6 inches.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Okay so now part B

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Yes, so how would we go about figuring out part B?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Since it says how fast in inches it's 6 inches

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Look closely at the question We're looking for how many inches PER HOUR

jabez177 (jabez177):

so we do 6 divided by 60?

jabez177 (jabez177):

or multiply?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I was thinking about 6/24 but since you mention 6/60 I'm really not sure anymore

jabez177 (jabez177):

24 hours?

jabez177 (jabez177):

We're talking about an hour not 24 :/

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I was thinking 6 divided by the number of hours in a day but your answer is probably correct. My brain really isn't functioning correctly because it's 9 at night.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Okay... idek also :( it's too hard know anyone that can help?

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

@inkyvoyd @bahrom7893 @Nnesha @sleepyjess
