1. what is greater, 54 inches or 5 feet?

2. if 5x + 1 = 21 then x =

3. 1/2 x 12

4 . 0.054 > 0.2, true or false?

1 answer

1. To determine which is greater, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit.

- There are 12 inches in a foot.
- Therefore, 5 feet is equal to \(5 \times 12 = 60\) inches.

So, 5 feet (60 inches) is greater than 54 inches.

2. Solve the equation \(5x + 1 = 21\):

- Subtract 1 from both sides: \(5x = 20\)
- Divide by 5: \(x = \frac{20}{5} = 4\)

So, \(x = 4\).

3. To solve \(\frac{1}{2} \times 12\):

\(\frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6\)

So, \(\frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6\).

4. Compare the decimal numbers 0.054 and 0.2:

0.2 is greater than 0.054 because it represents a larger value (0.2 = 0.200).

So, the statement "0.054 > 0.2" is false.
