Question

Use the table to determine the location with the greatest amount of rainfall and the location with the least amount of rainfall.
Using complete sentences, identify the location with the greatest amount of rainfall and the location with the least amount of rainfall, and express the ratio of their respective rainfalls as a whole number.
Describe what this ratio tells you.
(I can also send the table to you if you're willing to help)

Answer 1

bc. on the right side you see different length measures i think like a first step maybe more usefully to convert them in one the same measure

what you think about this ?

Answer 2

do you know what is the SI. units measure for amount of rainfall ?

Answer 3

ok how i know is mm
so you need convert every unit measures from the right side in mm

do you know the way ?

Answer 4

no i'm not quite sure what youre talking about

Answer 5

for the first one

0,1173 m = ? mm

Answer 6

use this

1 m = 1000 mm

Answer 7

ok i will help you so using the rule of 3 simple we can write in this way

1 m mean 1000 mm
0,1173 m mean x mm and now cross multiplie and calcule the x value

x = 0,1173×1000/1 = 0,1173×1000 = ? mm

Answer 8

how you multiplie the 0,1173 by 1000 ?

Answer 9

take the decimal 3 places on the right and will get

0,1173×1000 = 117,3 mm

do you understand it now ?

Answer 10

ok for second one

11,4 m = ? mm

Answer 11

multiplie 11,4 by 1000 how many will get ?

Answer 12

11,4×1000 = ?
take the decimal 3 places on the right so what will result ?

Answer 13

ok there wan be

11,400×1000 = ? so now is more easy

Answer 14

so look take the decimal 3 places on the right and will get

11,400×1000 = 11400 mm

ok ?

Answer 15

the next one

25,6 cm = ? mm

here you need to know that 1 cm = 10 mm

Answer 16

using this we can write

25,6×10=256 mm

Answer 17

the next two are given in mm
so the last one please try convert it alone

480 cm = ? mm

Answer 18

@mayathegamergrl do you understand it ? do you can do it for medal ?

Answer 19

just you need multiplie the 480 by 10

480×10= ? mm

Answer 20

wait, thts it?

Answer 21

so = 4800 mm

and now just you need to see what location has the greatest amount of rainfall

Answer 22

yh jus convert the cm to mm whcih you will multiply them by 10 each

Answer 23

1. has 117,3 mm
2. has 11400 mm
3. has 256 mm
4. has 57 mm
5. has 160 mm
6. has 4800 mm

Answer 24

yea

Answer 25

what has the greatest amount of rainfall ?

Answer 26

@happypotato do you understand the way ? questions ?

Answer 27

Yes I'm pretty sure i do. so it would be the second location right?

Answer 28

yeah

Answer 29

do you have questions ?

Answer 30

and what about the ratio ?

Answer 31

That was the second part of the question

Answer 32

Also thank you for being so helpful!!!

Answer 33

Using complete sentences, identify the location with the greatest amount of rainfall and the location with the least amount of rainfall, and express the ratio of their respective rainfalls as a whole number.
Describe what this ratio tells you.

Answer 34

so you answered what is the greatest amount of rainfall
what is the least amount ?

Answer 35

number 4

Answer 36

?

Answer 37

yes ofc

Answer 38

and express the ratio of their respective rainfalls as a whole number.

Answer 39

how many was the greatest ?

Answer 40

to find the ratio

Answer 41

11400 was the greatest

Answer 42

and the least ?

to find the ratio you need divide the greatest by the least

Answer 43

57

Answer 44

and what does the ratio tell us?

Answer 45

so if how you see the location with the greatest amount of rainfall has 11400 mm
and with the least has 57 mm
what is you opinion what can this mean ? tell us ?

Answer 46

but you dont made the ratio calcule

@happypotato

Answer 47

I'm not quite sure

Answer 48

@happypotato here is your question posted

Answer 49

thank you so much!

Answer 50

yw

so now you understand it sure ?

Answer 51

you need calcule the ratio
after this you get the result so you need use to write the answer on your problem posted

Answer 52

how much is the greatest : ?

Answer 53

number 2

Answer 54

11400 mm
the least how much has ?

Answer 55

57 mm

so now divide the greatest value with the least how many will get ?

Answer 56

11400 / 57 = ?

Answer 57

200

Answer 58

?

Answer 59

so you ve get the ratio is equal 200

what result from this ?

Answer 60

i dont understend your question?

Answer 61

the last question of your posted problem what is ?

Answer 62

Describe what this ratio tells you.

Answer 63

so from this ratio result that with this x number raining more in the greatest amount rainfall location then in the least amount rainfall location

Answer 64

this x is the ratio value

Answer 65

ok ?

@extrinix can you please explain this little more understandably ? - tysm

bc. i think @happypotato dont understand it clearly

Answer 66

Yea, you have to remember happypotato is not a native english speaker.

Answer 67

so how i see this qc user go away is offline dont wait on your explain so sorry

but tysm

Answer 68

choice 6 is 480 not 280 how many you get

Answer 69

and this 280 you say is in cm ,why ?
first of all we need convert these results in one the same unit measure and how i remember the rainfall is measured in mm

Answer 70

Needles, California
Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii
Puako, Hawaii
Death Valley, California
Mojave, California
Hilo, Hawaii

0.1173m
11.4m
25.6cm
57mm
160mm
480cm

Ok, so first off convert the chart
I'm going to convert to centimeters because it's more accurate.

1mm = 0.1cm
1m = 100 cm
1 cm = 1 cm

converted:

Needles, California
Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii
Puako, Hawaii
Death Valley, California
Mojave, California
Hilo, Hawaii

11.73cm
1140cm
25.6cm
5.7cm
16 cm
480cm


now that that is converted, which location has the largest amount or rainfall and and which has the smallest amount of rainfall

now to find the ratio, divide the largest number by the smallest number,
\(\dfrac{1140}{5.7}\)

so 200.

Answer 71

It's not choice 6 specifically, its how many choices there are, and there are 6 total choices in the chart.

Answer 72

ohh ok

Answer 73

what do you mean by that?
