For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams. Jada says, "I can find this by calculating 14 of 60." Andre says, "25% of 60 means 25100⋅60." Lin says both of their methods work. Do you agree with Lin? Explain your reasoning.

I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams.

Now, Jada says, " I can find this by calculating of 60".

So, he is correct because 25% means , so 25% of 60 grams is equivalent to   of 60.

Again, Andre says, "25% of 60 means ".

Therefore, he is also correct.

So, I agree with Lin who says both of their methods work. (Answer)

4400

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
