Multiply 2/3 by the reciprocal, 3/2, on both sides.
Answer:
Total length of the first swing=64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;
Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing
where;
Total length of all 4 swings=175 m
Length of first swing=x
Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x
Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing
Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x
Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing
Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x
replacing;
Total length of all 4 swings
175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x
2.734375 x=175
x=175/2.734375
x=64
Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
9/2 or 4.5

Darling, this problem is quite simply addition. You add 18 to 1328. 1328 + 18. we add the eights first. 8 + 8 equals 16. The 6 stays and we carry the one. 1 + 2 is 3. And then we add our carried 1 to make 4. So, the answer is 1346. I hope this helped!
