Question

What is the origanal lenghth if 6% of a length is 570m? Give your answer in metres m.

Answer 1

To find the original length, set up a proportion and solve for 'x'. The original length is 9500 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original length, we need to determine what length represents 6% of it. We can set up a proportion to solve this. Let's call the original length 'x'. The proportion would be:

6% / 100% = 570 m / x

To solve for 'x', we can cross-multiply and then divide:

6x = 570 * 100

6x = 57000

x = 57000 / 6

x = 9500

The original length is 9500 meters.
