h=3.2ℓ+82.77 An anthropologist uses the formula to estimate the height, h, in centimeters, of a male with an ulna bone that is ℓ centimeters long. Which of the following equations correctly gives the length of the ulna bone in terms of the height? Choose 1 answer: (A) ℓ=(h)/( 3.2)-82.77 (B) ℓ=(h-82.77)/(3.2) (c) ℓ=3.2 h-82.77 (D) ℓ=h-(82.77)/(3.2)

Question

h=3.2ℓ+82.77 An anthropologist uses the formula to estimate the height,  h, in centimeters, of a male with an ulna bone that is  ℓ centimeters long. Which of the following equations correctly gives the length of the ulna bone in terms of the height? Choose 1 answer: (A)  ℓ=(h)/( 3.2)-82.77 (B)  ℓ=(h-82.77)/(3.2) (c)  ℓ=3.2 h-82.77 (D)  ℓ=h-(82.77)/(3.2)

Understand the Problem: Step Title: Understand the Problem Concise Step Description: Understand what is being asked in the problem. Question Prompt: What is the equation for the length of the ulna bone in terms of the height? Step Calculation: No calculations needed at this step. Step Output: Understanding that we need to solve for ℓ in terms of h.Isolate the Variable ℓ: Step Title: Isolate the Variable ℓ Concise Step Description: Rearrange the given formula to solve for ℓ. Step Calculation: Starting with the given equation h = 3.2ℓ + 82.77, we need to isolate ℓ. To do this, we subtract 82.77 from both sides of the equation to get h - 82.77 = 3.2ℓ. Step Output: h - 82.77 = 3.2ℓDivide by the Coefficient of ℓ: Step Title: Divide by the Coefficient of ℓ Concise Step Description: Divide both sides of the equation by 3.2 to solve for ℓ. Step Calculation: (h - 82.77) / 3.2 = ℓ Step Output: ℓ = (h - 82.77) / 3.2
