Task7.QTT2.WGU.docx QTT2 Ratios and Proportions Task 7 Finite Mathematics QTT2 Western Governors University Scenario: A flamingo ™s leg length is proportional to its body length. A flamingo wit... h a body length of 1.2 feet has a leg length of 2.5 feet. Part A. Determine to the nearest thousandth the leg length of a flamingo whose body length is 1.4 feet, showing all work. A.Step 1. Step 2. 2.5∙1.4=1.2∙x using cross multiplication to solve Step 3. 3.5=1.2x solving the left side of the equation and the right side. Step 4. 3.5/1.2x x=2.9166 solution to x was solved by using division to get x by itself. The equation on the right is set up as multiplication and multiplication and division are inverse operation and undo each other. Because of this, division was used to undo the multiplication of 1.2∙x to get x by itself. Step 5. X=2.9166 in dividing 3.5/1.2 Since the question asks the student . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
