Answer :
Answer:
The whole length of the Colorado River is about 69% of the distance
from the East to the West Coast
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- The shortest distance from the East Coast to the West Coast in the
USA is 2,092 miles
- The length of the Colorado River is 2334 km
- We need to find the percentage of the whole length of the Colorado
River of the East to the West Coast
- The length of the Colorado River in kilometer and the distance from
the East Coast to the West Coast in miles then we must to change
the kilometers to miles
∵ The length of the Colorado River = 2334 km
∵ 1 km ≅ 0.6214 mile
∴ 2334 km = 2334 × 0.6214 = 1450.35 miles
∴ The length of the Colorado River is 1450.35 miles
- The percentage of one number from another number is the number
divided by other number and multiply the quotient by 100
∵ The distance from the East to the West Coast = 2092 miles
∵ The length of the Colorado River = 1450.35 miles
∵ % Colorado River = [tex]\frac{1450.35}{2092}*100=69.33[/tex]
* The whole length of the Colorado River is about 69% of the
distance from the East to the West Coast
