Amerada hess company wants to make an oil container tank. engineers are shown a sample tank. which is 1 meter in height, and they are told that the new tank should look similar to the sample. if the sample tank is 1/25 the size of the original tank. what is the height of the original tank? a. 25m b. 20m c. 10m d. 1m

Since the sample is 1/25 the size and the size of the sample is 1m then:



x is the height of our container. we need to move 1/25 to the other side so we multiply both sides of the equation by 25.



On the right side of the equation, 1/25 cancels out with 25 since:



so we are left with the 25 x 1 on the left:



so the container is 25m; C.

The answer is 10. and if you go by pemdas you would 1. multiplication 2. division 3. addition 4. subtraction

a - base

b - exponent

so,

the base is 8the exponent is 3the exponent tells you to multiply 8 together three timesthe expanded form is 8*8*8
