Asa is supposed to floss his teeth using 18" of floss daily. He began a new roll 50' on March 17th. If he still has 2 feet of floss left after flossing on August 2nd, how many days has he forgotten to floss?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Asa forgot to floss for 106 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will start by writing out the details we are given clearly.

Length of floss used per day = 18 inches

Original length of floss bought for use = 50 ft = 600 inches

Number of days between March 17th and August 2nd = 138 days

Length of floss left after August 2nd = 2 feet = 24 inches

From this, we can clearly calculate the length of floss used.

This will be original floss length - length of floss remaining = 600 - 24 = 576 inches

Length of floss used = 576 inches

If Asa used 18 inches per day, we can find the number of days he flossed by  dividing the length used in total by the length used per day.

That will be 576/18 = 32 days

if Asa flossed for only 32 days, the number of days he didn't floss is 138 - 32 =106 days

Hence, Asa didn't floss for 106 days.

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It becomes a right-angled triangle with height of 8feet and base of 6feet.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

a² = b² + c²

a² = 8² + 6²

a² = 64 + 36

The sea turtle habitat at the zoo is made by connecting two large aquariums. The first aquarium is 6 m long, 4 m wide, and 2 m high The second aquarium is 8 m long 9 m wide and 3 m high how many cubic meters of space do the sea turtles have in their habitat

Answers

Answer:

264 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the volume of both aquariums and add them up.

The aquariums are shaped as rectangular prisms.

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = L * W * H

where L = length, W = width, H = height

The first aquarium is 6 m long, 4 m wide, and 2 m high. Its volume is:

V = 6 * 4 * 2 = 48 cubic metres

The second aquarium is 8 m long, 9 m wide and 3 m high. Its volume is:

V = 8 * 9 * 3 = 216 cubic metres

The amount of space the turtles have is therefore:

V = 48 + 216 = 264 cubic metres

Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 8, 16, 32, ...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\[a_{n}=a{1}r^{n-1}\]

r=16/8=2

a_{12}=8(2)^{12-1}

[tex]a_{12}=8(2)^{11}=16384[/tex]  

The 12th term of the geometric sequence is 16384.

What are arithmetic and geometric sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a set of numbers in which every no. next to the previous number has the same common difference

d = aₙ - aₙ₋₁ = aₙ₋₁ - aₙ ₋₂.

In a geometric sequence numbers are written in the same common ratio(r).

It means every next number is a multiple of a common constant and the previous number.

r = aₙ/aₙ₋₁ = aₙ-₁/aₙ₋₂.

Given, a geometric sequence  8, 16, 32,... which has a common ratio(r)

= 16/8 and first term a₁ = 8.

We know nth term of a geometric sequence is aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹.

∴ 12t term of the geometric sequence is a₁₂ = 8.2¹²⁻¹

=  8.2¹¹.

= 8.2048.

= 16384.

The garden has an area of 28 square meters. The length of the garden is 7 meters. What is the width of the garden?

You have to find the width

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total area is 28, and the length is 7. Therefore 28 divided by 7 equals 4.

Hope this helps

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume this is a rectangular garden.

The area of a rectangle can be found using:

a=l*w

We know the area is 28 square meters and the length is 7 meters. We can substitute 28 in for a, and 7 in for l.

28=7*w

Now we need to solve for w. To solve, we have to get w by itself. 7 and w are being multiplied. To reverse this, divide both sides by 7.

28/7=7*w/7

28/7=w

4=w

The width is 4 meters

A mixture of gases was found to have a total pressure of 950 mmhg gas number 1 has a pressure of 335 mmhg gas number 2 has a pressure of 456 mmhg what is the pressure exerted by gas number 3

Answers

Answer:

The pressure exerted by gas number 3 is 159 mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, the law to Use is Dalton’s law of partial pressure

Dalton’s law of partial pressure states that for a mixture of gases which do not mix, the total pressure exerted by such gases is equal to the sum of the individual pressure.

Now for the three gases, the total pressure Pt is equal to P1 + P2 + P3

Now we have Pt = 950 mmHg, P1 = 335 mmHg and P2 = 456 mmHg

P3 = Pt-P1-P2

Plugging the values above, we have ; 950-335-456 = 159 mmHg

A game comes with a deck of cards with each card showing one of the numbers 2,3,4,5,6, or 8. Each card occurs one time in red and one time in purple, and one time in blue. Given that a blue card is drawn what is the probability the card is 4

Answers

Answer:

0.1667 = 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the card drawn is blue, so now we need to check the value of the card.

The blue cards have 6 possibilities of values (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8), and the number 4 appears only 1 time, so the probability of the blue card having the value 4 is the number of times this value occurs by the number of possible values:

P = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%.

Suppose Tommy walks from his home at (0, 0) to the mall at (0, 6), and then walks to a movie theater at (7, 6). After leaving the theater Tommy walks to the store at (7, 0) before returning home. If each grid square represents one block, how many blocks does he walk?

Answers

Answer:

26 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

 To determine the number of blocks Tommy walked, you will calculate the distances between each of his points (ordered pairs).

Using the distance formula i.e[tex]\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

(0,0) to (0,6) is : [tex]\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(6-0)^2}[/tex] = 6 blocks  

(0,6) to (7,6) is: [tex]\sqrt{(7-0)^2+(6-6)^2}[/tex]= 7 blocks

(7,6) to (7,0) is: [tex]\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(0-6)^2}[/tex] = 6 blocks

(7,0) to (0,0) is: [tex]\sqrt{(0-7)^2+(0-0)^2}[/tex] = 7 blocks, back home

This totals 26 blocks that Tommy walked.
