The total width of two standard shortboards
and a technical shortboard is 23.5 inches.
write an equation to represent the situation.

2s + t = 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of shortboards:

Let the width of a standard shortboard be represented by s.

Similarly, Let the width of a technical shortboard be represented by t.

As per the given information: total width of two standard shortboards

and a technical shortboard is 23.5 inches.

Representing it as an equation in terms of the variables defined:

2s + t = 23.5

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n

-75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds w
