Question

Tom is a ski jumper. The maximum length of skis he can use is 145% of his height. Tom's height is 1.80 m. (c) Work out the maximum length of skis Tom can use.

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum length of skis that Tom can use is 2.61 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Tom's height = 1.80 m

Maximum length of skis that can be used = 145%

Maximum length of skis Tom can use =

$145\%\times \text{Tom's height}\\\\=\dfrac{145}{100}\times 1.80\\\\=2.61$

Thus, the maximum length of skis that Tom can use is 2.61 m.
