How To Make Tutus STEP 1. Take measurements. Have the tutu-wearer-to-be stand still‚ with their backs straight. With a measuring tape‚ measure around the waist with a measuring tape. Measure from the waist to the part of the leg where the tutu skirt should end. Most tutus fall between 11 in. (28 cm) (58 cm) from the waist. STEP 2. Make the elastic waistband‚ cut a piece of ½ inches (1.27 cm) elastic about 4 inches (10 cm) shorter than the waist measured. Sew the ends of the elastic together

quantities. All engineers must use the same language in their communications‚ and one of these universal communication tools is the units of measurements. Physical quantities such as length‚ weight‚ time‚ speed‚ force‚ and mass are measured with standard units. Therefore the magnitude if a physical quantity is given by a number and standard unit of measurement. Examples: 5 meters‚ 60 kilograms. SI units are the international system of units (system international). The SI Base Units for the seven

6. Below are listed some objects of varying degrees of abstraction. Suggest properties of each of these objects that can be measured by each of the four basic types of scales. There are relatively few pure interval scales found in business research. Almost all text discussions of this scale refer to the example of temperature scales. However‚ some attitude scales such as the Likert and Semantic Differential‚ are claimed to approach interval characteristics. In addition‚ approximate interval scales

When a tornado forms or passes over a water surface‚ it is called a waterspout. Like tornadoes‚ they form in many shapes and often occur in series or families. Measurements of tornadoes can be a few kilometers an hour to as high as 64 to 80 kilometers per hour. We should know what to do before‚ during‚ and after a tornado has hit our town. Tornados cause much damage and we people should be prepared before a tornado‚ during a tornado and what to do after a tornado. Before a tornado‚ we should listen
