Answer:
a)after 1,000 years?
1 meter
b) 10 million years?
10,000 meters
c) 50 million years?
50,000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that mountains rise 1 mm per year.
a) After 1000 years
1 year = 1 mm
1000 years =
Cross Multiply
1000 × 1 mm
= 1000mm
Converting to meters
1 mm = 0.001 m
1000 mm =
1000 × 0.001m
= 1 meter
b) After 10 million (10,000,000) years
1 year = 1 mm
10000000years =
Cross Multiply
10000000 × 1 mm
= 10,000,000mm
Converting to meters
1 mm = 0.001 m
10,000,000mm =
10,000,000 × 0.001m
= 10,000 meters
c) After 50 million years(50,000,000)
After 50,000,000 years
1 year = 1 mm
50,000,000years =
Cross Multiply
50,000,000 × 1 mm
= 50,000,000mm
Converting to meters
1 mm = 0.001 m
50,000,000mm =
50,000,000 × 0.001m
= 50,000 meters
