A condor has a wing span of 3.05 m. What is the wing span in feet

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

Explanation:

This can be solved by a simple rule of three

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, our measures are the wing span of the condon in meters and the wing span of the condor is feet. As the value of one of these measures increases, the other is going to increase too.

We know that 1m has 3.281 feet,

So we have the following rule of three:

1m - 3.281 feet

3.05m - x feet

x = 3.821*3.05

x = 10 feet

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet
