Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 12 because if 1/3 of the log is buried then 2/3 of the log is 8 meters. 8 divided by 2 is 4 so you know that 1/3 of the log is 4 meters. Then you just multiply 4 times 3 or add 4 and 8.
Answer:
12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
see image. If 1/3 log is buried, then 2/3 (the rest of it) log is above ground. If 8meters of log is 2/3 of the log, that is 8 meters is 2 parts, then each part is 4 meters.
2 parts (thirds!) above ground:
8 meters
1 part (one-third) below ground:
4 meters
Total is 8 + 4 =12
or 3×4 = 12
The whole log is 12 meters.
