A:
Answer:The corresponding answers to the questions are  9.625 cm² , 459, 304.5m², 1 : 3 , 3:4 , 10,000 pounds , 36 inches.Step-by-step explanation:1. Area of triangle = 0.5 x base length x heightHere base length = 5.5cm and height = 3.5cmSo area will be 0.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm² = 9.625 cm²2.919/2 rounding off to nearest wholeWe know that the value of 919/2 = 459.5 .So the nearest whole number value to which it can be rounded off is 459.3.We know that area of parallelogram is base length x heightHere, base length =14.5m and height = 21mSo area = 14.5 x 21 m² = 304.5m²4.No. of grilled cheese sandwiches sold = 200No. of tacos sold                                     = 100No. of grilled chicken salads sold          = 150Total lunches sold                                   = 200 + 100 + 150 = 450So, ratio of chicken salads to lunches sold is 150 : 450 = 1 : 35.Given number : 7,208,631Odd digits here - 7,3,1 - 3 digitsEven digits here - 2,0,8,6 - 4 digitsSo, ratio of odd digits to even digits is 3:46.One ton = 2000 poundsSo 5 tons = 5 x ( 1 ton) = 5 x 2000 pounds = 10,000 pounds7.Table length = 3 feetWe know that 1 foot = 12 inchesSo table length = 3 foot = 3 X 12 inches = 36 inches
