Question 58837This question is from textbook discovering algebra. an investigative approach
: Write a proportion for each problem, and solve for the unknown number.
A. Leaf-cutter ants live in central and south america weigh about 1.5grams. One ant can carrry a 4gram piece of leaf that is about the size of a dime. If a person could carry proportionally as much as the leaf-cutter ant, how much could a 55-kilogram algebra student carry?
B. The leaf cutter ant is about 1.27cm long and takes strides of 0.84cm. If a person could take proportionally equivalent strides, what size strides would a 1.65-m-tall algebra student take?
C. The 1.27-cm-long ants travel up to 0.4 km from home each day. If a person could travel a proportional distance, how far would a 1.65-m-tall person travel?This question is from textbook discovering algebra. an investigative approach

Question 65558: I have another word problem I understand but I don't understand....
The period of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. If a pendulum has a length of 6 feet and a period of 2 seconds, to what length should it be shortened to achieve a period of 1 second?
I understand:
Pendulum directly proportional to square root of length
6 feet with a period of 2 seconds
I am trying to find the length to be shortened to make a period of 1 second.
I know I might be nuking this....
