</span>Lucas Lives 5/8 miles from their schools
=> 5/8 miles is equals to:
=> 5 / 8 = 0.625 miles.
Now, the problem says that Kenny lives twice as far as Lucas from their school.
Therefore, we only need to multiply the total number of miles of Lucas distance
from house to school to be able to get what is the distance of Kenny’s house to
school
=> 0.625 * 2 = 1.25 miles or 1 and ¼ miles.</span>
Answer: 22.5 . The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant) ; Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
→ (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
(weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
→ x = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
→ Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) = (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4 = (9*10¹) / 4 ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = 90 /4 = 25/2 = 22.5 ; which is our answer.
