Find the coordinate of the indicated point on a number line. five-sixths of the distance from 1 to −13

The coordinate is or about -10.67

Explanation:

First, determine the distance from 1 to -13 on the number line:

Next step is calculating Five-sixths of this distance:

Finally, we "walk" that frcation of distance in the direction from 1 toward -13 (i.e., in the negative direction). The new coordinate x* is:

measurement of the swimming pool is given as = 7 yards 4.79 feet

first we will convert this to yards only.

1 foot = 0.33 yards

so, 4.79 feet = yards

so total yards are = yards

now we will convert this in meters.

1 yard = 0.914 meters

8.580 yards = meters

0.842 m = 0.842*100 = 84.2 cm

this becomes 7 meters and 84.2 cm

hence, the pool is 7 meters and 84.2 cm wide.
